I need someone who does frame and body work in San Antonio. I have a 67 stang and that is the only thing I can't do out of my garage. I'm going to do the other work myself and I need to know how far I have to gut my car.

Darren (88GT) does some awesome work, if you look at the Eleanor pics, I saw that car in the early stages when it was just delivered to him, it was a basket case! I wish I lived closer when I need stuff done because I would take my stuff to him for sure!! :mick:

When I get home tonight I can post some pics. The frame is just rusted out due to the car sitting in my father-in-law's yard. An example is that I tried to jack the car up on the front frame and it started to bend. This will not be something that would need to be done quickly due to me having to rebuild a 351C for it. This is new for me (restoring) so it is going to be a learning curve.

Here are some body pics. I don't have any frame pics right now. The floor pan is almost gone in the back.

where exactly on the frame? The front frame rails? or the "frame" along the floor? Floor pans are simple. You can get floor pans from different suppliers. Can you weld, and do you have a MIG welder? Can you get a donor car or can you locate a car in a salvage yard that isnt rusted where yours is?
Need pics of the damage to be of more help

I jacked it on the front frame rails. I have found the floor pans from a couple different suppliers. About the frame, I think that I can get some more from one supplier Mustangs Unlimited. I have never welded in my life. I am willing to learn and help with some things. I will try to get some under carriage pics up tomorrow. I apperciate everyone's help.
