Thank you very much. It has been a long road to get to this point. Yes, these cars are known to break in half when they get old and rust neglect sets in. One quick and easy way to "test" these when you are looking to buy is to open both doors and then stand on the sill and sort of jump up and down to see how much flex you have. I was lucky as mine was pretty solid in the longs. We had other issues, of course, but the longs were good. Likely had something to do with the Exxon Valdez oil leaks and everything being covered in oil....
