Got lizard skin?

Heck of an improvement. Lots and lots of work removing the old undercoating and getting the limited amount rust cut out.

Finally! Bottom is painted. Gonna seam seal a bunch, and probably spray some raptor liner or lizard skin on the bottom before declaring that part "finished". That's two coats of Eastwood on top of metal prep from POR I had on hand.

So we just took all the glass out of our body. Glass guy said the windshield molding was cheaper than a windshield, so he cut that molding to get the glass out easy. I see threads that say there are seals available that don't take a locking strip. Are there also seals that do? Any...

Contest for the most tools involved with the smallest repair area? 🤣 Left inner quarter panel area. Just to get rid of a little rust. 🤪 Here was the outside of the quarter...

No. That was my original, I removed the rust from.

Well, I did it. Two different ways. Complete replacement on the right side and disection of the 3 layers on the left.

Did you get this fixed? It's quite an involved process, but possible. You can either separate all the layers at the spot welds, or find a good donor part. I did it both ways, but the good donor parts are pricey if you can find them. But shaping the sheet metal for the fenderwell isn't easy.

might not look like mutch at a casual glance. But rust works silently in between the layers. That area was the same on the other side. Although not quite as bad.

Some other areas in the rear fenders. In addition to some patches, I've been separating the layers best I can to clean out tge rust and debris, and also applying the rust converter.

on to the bodywork and dealing with the rust. Surprising how little there is, but I'll show what I've delt with, maybe it will help others. Biggest trouble spots were the rear fenderwell/seat mounting areas. Right side was definitely trash, so I sourced a cutout from jonas at barnyard...

sold it

Sold

Not sure if it's still available, but I've had this for a long while.

Damn
