Spot blaster to remove the rust Not too much, lower corners as expected. Didn't get the rear finished today, close to 90* this afternoon. Once the sun moved past the shed and I was in the sun I quit. Don't really want to blast that crap out inside the garage. I'll have to start early tomorrow to take advantage of the shade. Then on to the front windshield.
I'd be scared to do that to mine with the vinyl top as I'd expect the worst. In 1981 I went to Alabama and bought a 73 Elcamino and it was nice and when broke the back window out it was so rotted that I had to spend big bucks to have it redone just to hole the window in.
