The areas that do have some rust are pretty easy ones where it will be easy to put new sections in. The guy we bought it from said it was in a warehouse from 1970 on, and the license plate was last dated 1964, so that kinda bears that out. SInce we have always lived in areas where cars were rust buckets after 10 years, to us this one is a really good start.
There is a thread on another forum where a guy is bringing back a 47 that most people would have taken to the crusher. I mean, not one panel was without large holes in it, and yet he is still forging ahead and doing a great job on it, and is actually converting a sedan into a coupe by grafting on the entire rear section.People on that forum keep making comments that he certainly has more ambition than they do, and I agree. I bet he ha put a thousand miles of weld into it already. Gotta give him credit.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
