They foamed your rockers!!! Gosh, there's a great idea. Who were these guys?

^Sarcasm much?

that being said, after some deliberation i'll likely do that with the PV front spars and rockers, the rockers have no drainage in them, and will be freshly replaces/repaired. so i'm looking at like 4lb/cu^ft closed cell foam, it should also provide enough crush resistance that it could be jacked up on anywhere with a moderately flat surface... though i won't actually try it. I do need to figure out how the stock drainage works though.

They all drain some how. Usually through a little hole or gap left in the panel. If you're going to foam the rockers, make sure you handle the water up stream as it were...

faaack, i just got frustrated, going to be slicing up the 150$ worth of tubing i bought for a tubing bender build into a rotisserie, now, how the heck do i attach the car to it?

as well, does a trailer jack work in tension?

and the frigging t-bird rear end ended up being bunk, just the centre section, axles and spindles. no good for me, unless i was to design my own custom rear suspension.... i'd rather go with a drop in subframe and modify it later if needed.

so, got a good start on the rotisserie today, gonna have to get the 'rents to pick me up the two cylinders whilst i'm back up in fort mac though. Realistically, expect the PV to be on there within the next 3 weeks.

i'll post some pics tomorrow of my progress thus far.

also, picked up an old airco heliarc 150a HF tig machine, with a crank, i know, but i think i can motorize it to a foot pedal in short order....

if not, the torch/regulator/tank of argon it came with are well worth the 300$ it cost.
