EBAY WIN
We all hear about those great deals people get that are just kind of hard to believe. This is one of those. I'm looking around in EBay and I see this pic of the rear window for a 70 olds. I opened all the pics and found a trunk lid, hood, two doors some odds and ends. No one had put a bid on it so I popped a dollar and forgot about it. A week later, I get a an Email saying I won. I figure the guy would back out but when I called him, I got the background. He bought a wrecked 442 for the disk brakes and his wife wanted the rest of what he didn't used gone. So there the background.
The hood had some damage. A long time ago I had someone taught me the basics of a hammer and dolly. The wholes are from the pervious repair. I did what I could to get it flat, I still need to work the front edge. I will come back to this to make it better.

Yes it came with glass and some rust. I cut the bottoms out of the four door car to build patches. I'll have to get some pics loaded. I butt welded the patches in with a MIG welder. I did a little grinding and wow I have a set of doors.

The trunk had some bond-o that was cracking. I chipped it out and found a bad repair. Some heat and cold water to shrink the metal followed by some hammer and dolly work to move some of that metal around.
