1 fast z Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Here are some shots of the progress I have done in the last couple days. The rear quarters are welded, scotch brited, then seam sealed. I had to put in three main patch panels, one on each side of the rockers in front of the rear tires, as shown. I also had to make a panel that goes right behind the right rear tire as well. Previous painter had just slapped bondo in the rust, so that had to go. I wanted to completly strip the whole outside, so I knew that I wasnt going to have any problems later with older paint job and filler issues. I have fixed all the rust though, and its all bright shinny metal now. I also welded up the vent holes right behind the 1/4 windows. I fully welded up all the wholes that were in the rear valence panel and smoothed off the rear bumper. One picture shows the original color that was under the windshield and wasnt sun faded, and thats the color it is going back to. Some pics look like there is alot of filler, but alot of those pics, the filler hasnt been sanded yet. I try to stay under 3/32" thick for filler.
