You have a lot of welding in your future. Can you do all of that yourself or are you going to pay for it? Only reason I ask is because rust repair can get costly quick. Looks like heater channels, a pillars, door skins, front and rear quarters and the lower part of the Napoleon hat. I don't envy you right now but it will be some good satisfaction when completed.

Looks like lots of bondo on the roof and even on the spare tire area on the left side. The new rage is soda blasting a car better find it all now then later.

Yes, lot of welding and no I can't do all myself and I would like someone to help me out.

I am sure a group of us can bring a welder and help ya out one weekend.

I can't weld, but I can give moral support.

I told him my welder can be available when needed. Nick is borrowing it right now but I don't think he is currently using it.


James I would have the car blasted if you really plan to make it nice it's good to get all the old paint off. I used a guy off of 45 and 242 to do mine.

Thanks Ethan, I will call Nick when I am ready, and will call my friend to dustless blasting my bug but will see how much that going cost me.

It was $1500 to do mine.

that lot money

Not a lot when you realize you are going to spend 30 grand getting that car to where it needs to be.
