Dashboard Hoop Installed

Didn't get a lot done today, it was a bit cold. I did get the bar in the dashboard though so it wasn't a total waste of a day. I cut away a bit of the front frame to see how it was made. I think they planned these cars to rust out because the way the lower mount was made it traps dirt and water in there with no way for it to escape. Maybe anyone that has one of these cars in good shape should drill a hole to access the area and put some oil in there every so often. Just keep the hole plugged up with something to keep water out.
