Looks like what I ran into with one of my project Challenger's. My rust was on the other side but had to cut it open fix it and weld it back up. On the inside I used Por 15 so this would never happen again and then sprayed body color paint over the top of it.

Well, Miss Racheal goes on the flatbed this Saturday! I am so psyched, but saddened at the same time ! I've been spending every weekend since Holloweeny (  :misbehaving: ) in the garage with her , now I guess I'll be having to spend time with the d-mned missus ! So any ways , after two days of sand blasting the inside of the top of her ( Headliner area and pillars ) I got her all green ( except the passengers quarter) ( and some stuff that the body guy said he'll take care of ! I may even be sad for the next couple months without her to keep me company !  :violin: So anyways here's a couple pics .

Hey VPoint,

Don't think about what you'll be missing, think about how you'll be putting things on when you get her back!!!!! :bigsmile:

Good luck,

Hey VP.  I know how it feels to see her go away..........

But when you visit the paint shop......see what has happened to your baby.....
