Well, its officially a frame off restoration now.. or whatever the hell you call a stripped unibody restoration.

I'm not the kind of guy to sit around and stare at it... So with an Engine Crane, some Shackles, Cargo Straps and some Sapper intuition, I managed to get it stood up on its side this morning over a cup of coffee.



This gave me a really good chance to really look over the bottom in a manner much more thorough than laying on a creeper with a flashlight.





Working my way up and down the uniframe with a body pick hammer it turns out (thank god) that the only rust through spot is right under the drivers side floorpan in a cross member. Not enough to even require a repair kit. I should be able to just cut the bad spot out and patch it with new metal.



The only other rust is just on the surface of the inside of the wheelwells from the usual road blasting.

Now the fun begins......
