Edie: The Dart
Makes sense, cars really don't rust too hard around here, you slip up under any 30 year old car and nothing is really rusted, mild climate, the rain doesn't really bother them.
After seeing other cars in similar shape, the only thing I can account for so much rot is the fact it spent time in Alaska, probably by the sea, that 'a' pillar rot is classic salt air corrosion.
I'm keeping the original style to it, the one too many folks seem embarrassed of, I'm gonna rock it.
BTW, I will be done with fabrication shortly, I've got a few small projects left, then weld up the k-member and LCA. After that, the rest of the panels will be better served by washing them up, slinging some body adhesive on them and paint them. It should go pretty quick because everything is stripped, ready to go.
Yes, I dream about it. :D
