[QUOTE="SublimeRT, post: 5603360, member: 9879"] Just to give you an idea of how bad things can snowball.........this is a '70 Challenger I did. The car looked pretty decent from 10-15 ft. Hell, even up close, didn't look too shabby. A little bit of rust bubbles here and there. This is kinda a crappy picture, but you get the idea. This was pretty much as I bought it. I added the wheels, but it looks alright, eh? [URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/36/delta06029lz1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Well I started taking the car apart. The further I got, the more rust I found. I ended up having to get new full quarter panels on both sides, full trunk floor and trunk floor extensions, rocker panels, door skins, patches at the hood hinges, and partial floor boards, AND a new roof. I had to find a roof off a donor car. I don't have many pics or many good ones, but here's some of what I found. These pics don't really do it justice, it was Bad. Yes, that is a very thick layer of bondo on the sail panels that I ground off.
