<DIV>That (image 1) is a bit concerning because the rust often extends into the
rocker even if it looks OK on the outside. This is what Bondo hid on my
car (image 2). The other side was so bad I had to replace the inner rocker
too. On the “good” side (yes, the one you are looking at) I cut the outer
rocker off. I removed the rust on the inner rocker (somewhat pock marked, but
livable) and then welded on the new outer rocker. I made a lower/front
wheel well access plate for the rocker and as opposed to welding it on, I
secured it with a bolt. That way I was able to liberally apply POR15 to
the inner areas AFTER they were welded. These are the pieces (image 3) I wound
up removing and the reason I have concern. Most looked OK from the outside. All
the best in your venture. Tom</DIV>

<P>The tiger has been sandblasted. The undercoating on my car was going to
be impossible to remove without a ton of time and making a horrible mess of the
garage, driveway and myself. So I had it sandblasted inside and out,
100%. In hindsight the sand removal and clean up was significant and I
should have skipped the interior sand blast and masked off all the interior
holes as I spent a good bit of time getting sand out. The blaster uses
gorilla tape to protect the vin tags. I am really happy that its all
done. I epoxy Primered the car and parts over the weekend to prevent rust
from taking hold.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Next step is to put the Front and Rear end on the car so it rolls and then
take it to the frame shop to fix the passenger front rail. Will let him
tell me if I need a replacement or if he can bend it back. Or the 3rd
possibility that the prior repair and alignment is OK, but I don't think that's
the case.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>The sand blast did uncover significant amounts of bondo. I think the
car was crashed, motor removed and body work completed but then never had the
motor returned. It was then sold to Steve W, and I bought it in 95.
The problem is the driver rear fender is in very bad shape, the door is fine
(probably replaced) and the front fender minor damage. I'm at a cross road
as the car has flares (<A

image of the flares</A>) at all 4 corners. Do I seek out a donor fender
for the rear and transfer the flare? Do I put a stock fender on and then
remove the flares from the other 3 piecing in new arches?
Anyone have a driver rear fenders for sale plus 3 arches? Anyone have the
same style of steel rear flare tucked away in the garage? </P>
