My car had scars from the drive shaft hitting the floor in what I would guess as a 7260 u-joint failure. I don't think that is what caused the floor support welds to break in it self, but im sure it was all part of the big picture. my floor wasn't pounded up from the snubber like yours. Im saying these 4 speed cars were probably hammered every chance they had and this was for sure a weak spot in this body style.

Yeah it's for sure a weak spot! Auto cars probably never got the snubber mount damage. How's your Dart coming along by the way?

I decided to add an extra brace along the bottom of the dollies since they're pretty tall and I don't wanna risk stressing the rails if they wanna spread apart. Tomorrow I will drill the holes and bolt it in place near the bottom.

Also bead blasted the new floor support and roof brace.

Here's the old one.. I think someone jumped on the roof at one point. Same goes for the cowl vent area, which is why I've gotta replace the whole upper cowl, which is good anyways because I can paint all in behind there.
