It is. Around the rear window is the worst area. But, they make everything now. The dash has some rust at the base of the windshield too. The floors are very good.

What is strange, my 69 had a vinyl top - but is nearly rust free around the rear window. The floors are rough though compared to the 68.

I still need to dig through the car, but right now I seem to be missing all of the stainless for the drip rails. Possibly a lower molding or two.

Drip rails get destroyed coming off they are gone. I do have all lower moldings. Eyebrow on back. Only one of the SS on the rear of the quarter ones. I got a new set of eyebrows.

I remember that around the back window on my car was really, really bad. Part of the reason that we went with the vinyl top those first few years. At least your floors are very good.

Belden Speed makes all of the patch panels now. I remember how time consuming it was to repair the rear window area on the 72 Monte Carlo - back about 13 or 14 years ago.
