Rusting from the inside out is quite common in older cars.
Thats the largest trunk lid ive ever seen |

If it was a northern car, I might not be so surprised. But, FL car since new. Came out of the Atlanta assembly plant. The floors, quarters, doors, etc are really nice. The worst was/is the trunk lid, trunk floor, around the rear window, and the driver's side fender.
I finished the welding Tuesday and gave it a coat of dura glass + primer. Then stuck it on the car, doesn't line up very well. It is going to take some patience to get it where I want it.

Man, you have a lot of projects going on at the same time. Reminds me of when I would have 3 or 4 full builds on Harleys. I tried to get one done before I attacked the next one, but got held up a few times waiting on paint or parts. I quit doing my own paint work. It was too time consuming.

Basically, my 72 is on hold because of paint... I am waiting for the heat and humidity to lift before I do final body work and paint.
My dad sold the 72 Lemans and got rid of the vw. But, bought a 63 Nova vert. It was a running car, but very poorly executed. So... yeah, that car is half apart currently. ::sigh::

Started welding up some small holes in the left quarter panel.
Found a little "surprise" in the drivers side fender The passenger side is almost perfect.
