  • rust issues at control arm

    So I have a bit of a rust issue on my 84Z slicktop. Under the radiator support, where the control arm bolts up on the drivers' side, i have a spot of rot that has separated the control arms mounting spot. what do you guys think, is it repairable. I can get it welded but i am in the market for a great rolling chasis.

      unless its rotted through just sand wheel, re-treat the metal, seal, and spray it.

          :shock: Its your life, do with it what you wish.

          It could be reparable but no way of knowing until you tear it appart and get all the rot cut back to good metal to see what you have left to work with and weld to.
          Just stand back and throw money.
          Performance costs money.
          Reliable performance costs more.
