And where we have metal, it is often suspiciously thin. That brings forth an almost unanswerable question "How thin can this panel be and still be safe?"Looking at this Sunbeam I am reminded just how lucky we are in the South to not deal with winter salt, snow, lots of rainy days, and COLD! When I sold my 32 Ford coupe back in 76 to a cop from Lincoln Nebraska, he was adamant about me having the car's original TEXAS title...which I did. Most of the cars I built just needed a little phosphoric acid brushed on then rinsed off, then a little paint or undercoating. You guys don't even have metal in places.
Andy,Does anyone happen to know the depth of the mounting hole for the rear bolt on the cross member? Multiple helicoil options are available online…figured I could place the order now and get it on its way. It’ll probably be a day or two before I can get around to dropping the front suspension to check.
