When I (Matt) went out to check out this barn find, I asked David to tag along since he is far more mechanical than I am (just ask him about his dune-buggy project!). After a brief assessment of the car's current condition, it became clear that the rust areas would need to be cut out and patch-paneled before it ever came to my garage, so we asked Lance to deliver it to David's High-tech Auto and Welding Shop (a.k.a. his home garage). The plan is to repair these areas and then see if we can get the engine started up so I can drive it around the neighborhood and stir things up. Below are the main rust areas that need to be addressed:
This package tray behind the rear seat wouldn't hold a watermelon!
Typical rust found in convertibles in front of rear wheel arch (passenger side).
The driver's side is even worse!
