You got to be proud if the work you are doing on that car. From the looks of the rust on that car most people would have sent it to the crusher. "Doc" ------------------------ Yahoo!

Fuzz - yeah...talk about a lap warmer...yikes!
well...I filled in 2 holes the other day...one above the frame tie
and the other in the front part of the wheelwell where it meets the
floor...
I ordered a rocker for the driverside not to long ago...and it showed
up today...so I looked things over and tore into'er...

didn't look too bad...but it felt a lil soft towards the rear
wheel...which the air chissel just flew thru...

well...instead of showin all the rot at once...I'll show'em as I fix
them...I decided to start at the rear so I could fill in two holes on
the inside of the car that I could only get the rust cut out after I
took off the rocker...heres what she looked like...

patch from the inside...

patches were put in...theres a drop light in the car and no light
shining thru any gaps, holes or welds...
