Thanks guys, this will be a cool car. It's a biggun' allright, but we're on a mission to make it drive a thousand times better than original without losing the look.

Next, the crew began the rust repairs around the rear window frame. These window channels held water and rusted all the way through. The rusty metal was cut out with a thin 3M cutting disc on an air grinder. A new channel was fabricated using a shrinker/stretcher, welded in, and ground smooth. Gray primer prevented further rust.

Similar repairs were made to the window channel around the windshield in the areas where the metal had rusted thin.





Next, the rear window filler panel was removed for additional rust repair.
