was just wondering if anyone out there has done a major body refit such as the one I am about to undertake. here goes back in feb this year I scored a 1973 fastback torino CJ/C6 etc. the bad was the floorpans rusted out completely, so the search began for a donor, located a 72 coupe in georgia;used to be the guys race car, perfect floors and all, just some holes cut for the rollbar YEA!!! now I want to separate at the bottom of the winshield pillars and quarters from the floor on both and switch them out any tips from any experts out there would be great thanks in advance Glenn

Not sure how if you can get to all of the spot welds probably the simplest suggestion I can think of would be cut away from where you want to save on the bad part of each car close to it so that way you can gain access to the inside to see if there's anything hidden spot welds

I kind of figured there would be something like that with all the hidden spot welds, I'm going to have to pay real close attention on this job and take lots of photos to for posterity
