Hey Teditor

That's some serious panel work there. Very time consuming stuff!!
I'll bet it'll come up looking real good.

you might consider treating the inside of the panels to 'kill' or Neutralize that rust.
In the past I have used a Mollasses bath but a good auto paint shop might advise what to use.

I'm getting it easy, my main involvement has been dismantling the car, Michael is doing all the body work, self teaching as he goes, not bad for someone who had never held a welder up to about two weeks ago, ambition and determination will get the project done, hope to eventually get involved in some of the club events.

Ted.

.......Nor' Much Rust Here Either Yet There Is A Bulge Between The Inner Skin & The Outer Skin Where The Rust Is, The Rust Is Minor On The Visible Sides Of The Skin Yet The Two Inner Hidden Sides Will Be Whats Badly Rusted Thus The Bulge From Within, So I Am Thinking About Cutting The Lot Out & Replacing It With 2x 1mm Replacement Sections About The Size Of My Palm.......
