How rusty could it be? (Rear filler and Window channel replacement)

that looks excellent!!!

 

more.

 

last one. :beer

 

i'll say it again.... an awesome job!!!

 

Looking good!

Would be nice to see the '70-72 Skylark rear window filler panel (catwalk) repro'ed, but even with other A-body catwalks that are avail in repro form, one usually needs more (more window channel area or lower structure), so a
clean used catwalk & pkg tray ends up being the best way to go. Currently gearing up to replace the catwalk in my '71 Judge, not looking forward to another one of these , but its a must before the nos 1/4's go on.

Keep up the good work

rust fix new

Wouldn't have thought there was that much rust from looking at the outside... but obviously had some problems.

I think you need to keep the cool flame paint job... o No:

Looks great Rob! :TU:

 

Thanks guys... this is a relief. it has been bothering me since i bought it, like three years ago. It has been kept in the garage since i bought it, for that reason. now it will still be kept in the garage to prevent that very same thing.

This car as gone so far in the last 6 months... from a roller, with bashed fender and a rust filler panel... to a car with good bodywork and a strong motor(rear that lump....lump....lump... :Brow: )

 

These are what he did last night. Its in place with minumal trimming. He has to start the clean up around the repairs now so he can get ready to weld it up.

overtime = $$$$$ = buick parts

 

Hmmmmm.... uzzled:

 

Body work?

Hey Rob, what body shop are you using to get all of this work done? Looks like some good work.

 

well, I'll answer that question again.. thought i already posted it.

Mike Garrison... here's a link to his site click here

I think he has pretty full roster at the moment though.

 

Nice day for blasting today. Mike got a little more done this morning.

A little worse than we had expected but, but Mikes's working with it.
