My 74 Duster project

Not a lot of progress, but it is progress.

She had a few pinholes in the right lower quarters, so I picked up some POR Patch. I added some steel screen behind the quarter for some additional strength. This lower panel is solid as a rock. I still need to POR the outside lower to make sure I stop any more rust.

Now beside of the right tail light was another story. I uncovered a lot of rot there. Being unemployeed, I have more time than money, so I started to cut it up and patch the upper quarter and tail panel. So far, the quarter is looking very good. I cut everything out on the bodylines to keep them in tact. It is pretty cool what you can do with a grinder, a sheet of metal, a cheap 36 inch metal brake, a small mig and a cheap set of body hammers and anvils!

I am just beginning to repair the tail panel and I am sure it will take a while. I don't have the MAD SKILLS some of the guys on FABO have, so it will have to do. I hope to make a better showing tomorrow. Any and all tips and tricks are welcome.
