Re: Third Gen Rust repair in GMHTP

Hope the article helps, it's a big job, but once you have the tools and get into it, it can be done.

Re: Third Gen Rust repair in GMHTP

I've got a pretty good idea what they are talking about. I spent about 200hrs fixing rust spots in prep. for SFC's last winter/spring. I still have spots that need attention at some point.

The attached pix aren't the half of what i needed to replace.

I will say it is very rewarding when you're finally done though.

Re: Third Gen Rust repair in GMHTP

I don't get how he said he couldn't find a floor pan, Year One offers complete 3rd gen floor pans.

Re: Third Gen Rust repair in GMHTP

Not sure how I missed that. I am pretty sure it was Year One I talked to and was told a floor pan was not available, obviously it is. My bad.

Thanks for the link.

The local Barnes and Noble does not carry the title, but the one thirty miles from my house does

Re: Third Gen Rust repair in GMHTP

The online version actually has more pictures, although they look a bit wonky for some reason, so you won't be missing anything if you can't pick up the paper copy.
