Rusty Thirdgens
I am looking for pics of rusty thirdgens and what people did to fix them. Lets see them. The floor pan stuff is easy but I was wondering if anyone had dont anything to the square braces underneath the car to repair them or make them stronger.

Re: Rusty Thirdgens
Rusty?
I'm still in the process of taking each part off and sandblasting, cleaning, fixing what needs to be fixed, replacing parts like screws, plastic bushings etc., then coating the parts and putting them back.

Re: Rusty Thirdgens
I have a couple of non rusted bodies I'm probably gonna sell. A decent '85 Z/28 and a partially stripped '89 6cy Camaro. (in Arizona)

Re: Rusty Thirdgens
The construction is too simple.
It does work however.

I recently raised the car a full " and mounted an airdam with double this size. Used the same strength of high density styrofoam to shape the dam, but strengthened the airdam by backing it up with a few metal strips.
PS: I raised the car by replacing stock springs. The original ones were sagging extremely. I guess that'll be why the previous owner lost the original airdam
The main benefit of this airdam is that replacement costs me $10 in materials
