The original deck lid. Never saw one rot from tbe inside out like this one.

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.

Some rust repair panels for the 68 arrived today. Rear deck filler panel and lower fender patches.

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::

Dad sure keeps you busy Brian! It's gotta be nice to be able to spend time with him though.

I enjoy our time in the shop together, but really wish we could finish a car for him.

More parts arrived for the 68 today... dash repair panel, and trunk weatherstrip channels.

Started welding up some small holes in the left quarter panel.
