I've been out of the scene since 2004, but purchased a 1971 240Z about 5 years ago and it's been sitting ever since. I finally got to the point that I wanted to start the restoration, which initiated last week. My 18yo son is helping me so it has been all good thus far. The plan is to do all the patch panel work myself along with the rust treatment and then have a body shop do the body work. I just want to make sure all of the rust is neutralized or removed and because I have all the necessary equipment to do this at my house, what the heck. Starting with the back of the car we removed the entire rear panel due to excessive rust. At this point I have 99% of the rust removed, but perhaps need to fabricate a few patch panels and decide on why type of rust neutralizer I should use along with the primer before welding the panel back to the car. I don't know how quickly all of this will get done, but it is my intent to steadily get the patch panel work finished.
