"Old Red" Update Thread 1.5

If you have to replace them all I would go with stainless tubing and just copy your old lines. They will last forever. Just my .02

Sorry for the lame quality and no sound....

It's weird how they all rust up in the same places...I've been working on these same spots myself in the last 2 weeks and it's also coming along pretty well. I wish my car was in as good shape as yours...I can't say it's in bad shape either, just one 1.5 inch hole on each rear fender a bit like yours, plus one on each side on the front of the rockers where the drain plugs used to be, and a lot of rust (no perforation though) on the hatch, driver's rear window corner, near the junction of the rear fenders to the bumper and around the antenna. I'm almost done with patching the holes in the lower rear fenders, and then I'll just have my rockers left to do, which should be straightfoward since there's not much contouring to do compared to the lower rear fenders...Aren't they a b!tch to sand back to shape after applying bondo?

Oh yes, it's taking forever to get the body line back (the one at the very edge of the wheelwell where it dips down) other than finishing that spot it's done, well I still haven't started on the other side But other than those spots the car is solid, just a little rust on the hatch right below the window, but I'm probably going to get a rust free hatch off a LX with a wiper to put on it.
