CA car it whole life.
Ad copy reads 'one family owned', which makes TMU kind of odd, but the odo in my '69 gave up a couple times too.
My opinions: don't paint brick houses, don't change cars' paint color. Simple life rules.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

What’s that bar under the rear axle? Doesn’t seem like much of a function other than protecting diff?

Haven’t seen gas tank drains on cars in a while.

End links bolt through the floor under the back seat.
If the fabricator was skilled and followed the directions, there would be a stiffening plate added under each fastener .
