Looks worse than it is. I ran out of time and didnt leaf it and took it to a mod show first shot i took was a track shot from a v8 pacer. Other than that it held up pretty good got pushed over the wall by a spirit. Im gonna push the assend up and bend it so it will go up and weld hump plates on it. Then take it to a stock show on aug25.

I made 2 notches about a foot from back. I think notching and pre bending will be the way to go its a hard car the shot from the pacer was enuff that it broke my seat.

There are two things that im gonna re do that i think will really help these cars. On the rear where the tail lights bolt to cut each side free from the qaurter panels and fold it down flat against the floor then put the hatch in and weld it directley to the floor. Then pound the qaurters over and weld to the top of the hatch making a wedge. On the front cut the frame off at the core support and put the bumper shocks in the frame. I think these two things will really stiffin these cars up.

^^That's a good looking repair, kinda like mine: full of Chevy parts LOL. Just wanted to say I saw an 80s Cressida at the show I was at Friday and man that thing sure laid a beating, it had a 6cyl in it, seemed pretty peppy. Theres a 85 Supra with a blown motor close by... Thinking I should maybe give it a try.
