Hi folks,
Haven't really seen any G-body tinworm carnage pics as much as P-body or L-body ones, I've seen 'em with rockers and quarters going out... but was wondering where the "typical" rot points are in the floors in these.
Situation is, that I've seen a cheap 'tona for sale, and from the pics it is a very good "10 footer" can see no sign of anything around the rockers and arches, might still be starting there, but at the moment looks presentable. Owner however says the floors will need attention... how much attention I don't know, maybe he's being brutally honest and it's just flaking underneath a bit and can be stopped. Maybe there's actual holes.
But, I have no real idea where these normally start to go through and where it is in relation to PITA stuff to work around or remove. Whether it's usually on the flat more towards the seat or is awkward up against the firewall or under the seat involving mounting rails. I know it hypothetically could be anywhere and as bad as it gets, just wondering what is typical.
Could be anywhere between almost not worth mentioning and major, I just get the impression from the ad that he might have had a chain garage look it over "free inspection with oil change" sorta thing and they frightened him with a 4 figure "estimate" accompanied by much sucking of teeth. (If you wanna make bank you should prolly stick a cars bought sign on every utility pole near every Midas and similar)
Anyway, bit out of my way to go and look at, and not sure it's in the budget at all, but just wanted an idea of whether floor problems can be solved on these by not very experienced torch wielders.
thanks,
