Please post pics of what you do. This apparently has been an issue for one or two cars I have run across while I was in the market.

I had never know to look for that before this site and the new project has all the vin's and other identifying items.

Was looking at a K fastback offered for sale last year. Owner never admitted to much about the car until directly asked about very specific information. When I couldn't find the reinforcements in either frame rail, he finally told me that they both had to be replaced due to extensive rust damage. It was also then admitted to be a "converted" GT. Made the whole car seem fishy to me, and he then wondered why other people seemed so interested in the frame rail hole photos and such.

I can understand why one would want to put these factory features back into a replacement part on a genuine car, but it sure opens the door back up to more fake GTs and K code rebodies. Just sayin...

Not only K and GT but all A code cars had these suports, in fact I have a 66 C code fastback with both the extra supports behind the rear seat and in the frame rails.
