Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
Before removing the structural support of the K member/engine/trans assembly I wanted to get the radiator cross member replaced. The stock flimsy stamping does nothing for front end integrity under the stresses of a hard charging corner carver. Besides I had to do some restructuring for something to follow. Spot welds drilled, stamping removed and the aftermath found underneath. Yeck! The sheet metal at the bottom of the core support was paper thin from the corrosion between the panels. Notice how many spot welds had actually attached to the end of the frame horns. Two on the pass and one on the driver side. Hmmmmm
. Makes you wonder about the rest of the cars construction.
