So How did it turn out?



Not to bad, the crater near the relief point is not nearly as bad as it appears in the picture. There is no need to metal work it since the whole area will require a light coat of filler.

Still scratchy since this is 24 grit.




Now for the next major problem, the trunk lid. I have been looking on and off for about 2 years and the only trunk lids I find, are in far worse shape, that is they tended to be rusty. So I going to take a shot at repairing the lid I have. I don't have anything to loose, if my repair sucks I won't be any worse off than I am now.

This is what I am starting with.







The under side looks good, no sign of rust. At least in the places I stripped.




What I'm thinking about doing is to make a patch as show with the pink line. The metal is very thin and or rusting along where the Lemans letters are so a patch is required. The only thing to consider is how big to make the patch. My first though is to make it big enough to not only replace the thin metal but also replace most of the dented metal. This will be the largest patch I have attempted to date but it probably won't be to difficult since there are no complex shapes, only a light curve.



Parts came in Friday. I got vent window frames. These were done by The Parts Place, which is the only place I found that had re-chromed vent frames for sale.



This is bad my originals were
