So, after speaking to the 4A owner, we have removed the rear end and driveshaft as the first steps in replacing the rear portion of the frame for this car.  It’s a good time to remind folks of the structural weakness that can lie beneath pretty paint and a great example of problems that come with age.   Work in progress below…

Here, you can’t see the rear end and the driveshaft.  They’ve been removed.  Once the new metal goes in, I’ll try to capture it in photos and share.
