The only rust problems were between the door opening and wheel opening which is common on these cars. We are patching these areas.
Right side


firewall being prepped for smoothing, the holes were welded up on the left and wiped, still need to be finished and sanded. The lip between the cowl and firewall was cut off and the cowl smoothed up with a wipe. The right side has had all holes dressed down and prepped for a filler plate to be attached when we drop it off the rotisserie.


The qaurters look great except for the small patches shown above.

The sad news that really pi$$es me off is that the blaster screwed me! Evidently he let a new guy with no experience blast the car and consequently damaged my smooth roof with no filler in it. Now the roof feels like a washboard from being shrunk and stretched in different areas. After two nights of lying awake thinking about it and haveing a long pow wow with my body men we've decided that with the caliber of this build that wiping 20pounds of filler in the roof just will not cut it. I ordered one of the new Dynacorn second gen. roof skins today from NPD. Less labor and a better repair overall it just gripes my a$$ though that they did this.
