Perhaps I need some away time from the old girl and then go back and revisit it all.
Sounds like a plan John. Break the rust repairs down into smaller manageable parts or steps and you might not feel so overwhelmed.

had a break, decided to keep going with it. I have a donor wagon I pick up Saturday with a really good roof/drip rail section that I need.
Heres a couple more pics. Nothing exciting. :)

I've seen worse cars restored than that wagon (from the pics), there doesn't seem to be any big rust holes :shock: .

That triple carbed grey is pretty exciting :thumbsup: .

I cut those nasty roof bits out last night. Not as bad as I thought. Someone has bronzed it up before. looks messy on the inside of the old roof sections.
Feeling better now :)
