Frame inspection

[DkBG]

I may look at an 82 in need of resto . I was wondering where I should look for frame problems and anything else you might be able to think of . Cliff

One of the problems places on the frame is at the kick-up just in front of the trailing arms. It is here where you will find rust if there is any.

Check all body mounting points. especially the one for the front window/Door support. You just have one screw (usually a philips head) to remove from the inside kick panel and you will get a good view.

Good luck

Thanks guys . I've heard the windshield frames can be a major thing too . Cliff
