Just got done installing new heater channels...arg
What a weekend. Spent all day saturday and all day today removing the rotten pieces of shat, and installing the new channels. I finished up tonight, but still have to make a few patch panels to fix some places that the rust has taken over. The bottom of the A-pillar on one side was pretty bad. When I got done I POR-15'd all the welds and any other place that I thought rust would form, or already existed. I can't wait till I get this car ready for paint. It's been a slow process, but it's coming along. When I first got it, both floorpans were so bad I was afraid to sit in the seat. I am going to go downstairs and snap some pics. I'll post them up in a little while.

Good job!
Now spend a little more dosh on some Dinatrol for cavities, and inject it into your channels. You may need to drill 3 holes on the top of each channel (one at each end and one central). Mine came with the holes already there... Inject a half tin into each channel, then raise/lower each end of the car (try and get it into all the nooks and crannies!). Then your channels should last for a very long time Cya, Sam C
