> i’m going to be honest with you here, ditch the 15 gallons of bondo and go buy 1/4 panel replacements from strawpump autobody panels in youngwood. you are wasting such a huge amount of time because if even you got those 1/4’s back into a somewhat good looking state the rust WILL be back within a matter of months. same goes for the fenders and everything else. the car is a lost cause in my eyes but if you’re gonna do it atleast do it with some sense. i mean more power to you and all but don’t fuck yourself over it.

^^THIS. Those quarters are awful…which means the rockers are trashed, the underside is trashed…etc. Who the fuck welds some new fabbed panels onto pieces that are that badly rotted, anyway? You do realize that the chassis itself is a mere shadow of what it was previously right? The way you are proceeding now is NEVER going to save anything…all that rot will be back in no time.
