70 Nova

well, it's been awhile since I updated, and I have to warn u that the following pics are of a disturbing nature. What I thought was a fairly solid car, has turned in to a nightmare. I knew going in that there was some rust in the cowl panel, but when I pulled the windsheild, I found that not only the upper cowl was rusted, but also the top portion of the dash. Also, the window channel is a bit rusted, along with a hole the size of a quarter rusted through in the roof. Alas, I removed the rear windsheild only to find part of the window channel and filler panel rusted also!! I am literally bummed about that. I've got no choice but to forge on and try to mend her up, but it's definitely a set back. [IMG][/IMG]

I'll post more pics later when I get them uploaded.

You really didn't think that a 30+ year old CHEVROLET from the rust-belt wasn't going to have "issues"??

Have you checked the floors yet... and the inner wheel wells.. and the rockers....

[IndyNova]

The rockers are solid, outer wheel houses good, and I've got patch panels for the floors. I was hoping that was all the rust, I think the undercoating helped the rockers and doors, there solid!!lol

That's good to hear...

I'm from the "Best Coast" -- we get our cars out of Arid Zona -- or Kallee Fornia... and rust just isn't usually a big deal...
