I removed the back half of my recent purchase. Another '77, only to find frame rust and the previous owner covered the rear body mounts with steel plates. He didn't weld the covers to the frame. I did a quick grinding to get better pictures for you guys to see the mess. My thought is to cut out the bad and weld in new pieces. Am I way off base? Open to suggestions and input.
