    Sounds like it split from rust. How bad is the rest of the car? Got any pictures?

    i do have pictures,but they are on the camera at work.i've been fixing a couple of holes at work.i had tomake a torque box on the pass side and fix the floor above it.the frame rail is the bigest problem.where the bumper mount goes into the frame the rust over the years has broke free.i know joe talked about making some,but iwondered what othe people were doing?
