I had mine filled on my 69 too. If they're filled with lead they won't crack.

that body looks like a great starting point especially for a east coast car/midwest car.

trust me the body work process is long but the end result is a rewarding feeling hard to describe, Hope all goes well with the car.

My car needed a new trunk floor,bottoms of the quarters, windshield channel, drivers floor, and quarter to rear cowl sections. MY car is a northern california car too.
