Looks like the section in front of the rear wheel/far side.The closest side very hard to make out, maybe part of the dash?

Right front underneath footwell area behind front tire, Looking up at pedals.

Most of that can be bought from Guy, main rails look ok.

[rickf]

Yea, but look further back at the rear cross member that the rear suspension attaches to, that is also gone and nobody makes that one.

[acudanut]

This one was too far gone to save.

I see that now, at one time Red River had some NOS rear cross members for A2.

[rickf]

I don't think they had those cross members because if you look in the manuals it says if there is any corrosion on that cross member the body is to be scrapped and not repaired since it is a suspension member.

Not really, with all the parts available today the only thing you would need to fabricate is the rear cross member. And maybe some of the smaller body parts. Anything can be saved if you put your mind to it.

It was the original cross member, not a patch panel, leftover from the factory like all the other panels, at one time he had most of the panels and supports for the jeep, he still has hundreds of RH full A2 front fenders.

Oh heck...all you'll need to sort that out is a 5 lb. maul, a box of sidewalk chalk and a Henweigh....

I don't think you'll catch Rick again with that Henweigh. Have you considered a Piecost?

[rickf]

About $3.00?

[m3a1]

I have THREE of those in my tool chest. Never use them.

(and I have no idea what Rick is babbling about.....)

I'm on vacation this week but when I return there should be a crate at the shop with NOS front and mid cross members. I'm excited!
