    Frame rails, trunk floor, quarter panels, hood lip, shock mounts, and floor boards. All in all look the whole car over really good.

    i take a gallon jug of water with me and ask if i can pour it into the cowl. thats the area right between the windshield and the hood. if any of it comes out inside the car, it's a good candidate too pass on.:mad:
