My Girlfriends 85 vert went into a ditch about a year ago,it got bent up pretty good.We brought it to a frame shop where the guy made it even worse.We decided to get a core support from the junk yard and fix it.I wanted to find another roller and do the swap but she will not part with her car,guess I would be the same way.So her Dad and I decided for her birthday last Sunday we would get the core support on and get it running.That goal worked out and the car fired to life on the third bump of the key and the core support is on.She really wanted to take her car to Mustang week this year,I think we will make it but the car will be Green,Red,black and Cream colored lol.

Thanks man!It was alot of work,i think it took about 5 hours to get it all fitted into place and doing all the measuring to get it square,before we started welding.The worst part of the job was drilling out all the spot welds to remove the old core support my god never again.

Looks good, nice work- the next step is ensuring you don't have to perform that surgery again, take the keys! Lol
