Mike's '67 Fastback Featuring Super Slow Progress
Forgot to add, a couple days ago I finished pulling the rear trim out. Most of it is in decent shape, the passenger side reveal is pretty rusty on the back, I am not sure it can be saved. What it did reveal is kind of what I suspected. I knew the hole on the trunk had to come from somewhere and that gravity and water always win. I was fully prepared to find the rear glass held up by duct tape and bailing wire. What I found was a few spots of rust along the lip of the trim, wont know truly how bad until I get the glass out (which scares the bejesus out of me to think about). There are some holes and it will be a good learning experience making the patches. The glass was caulked and siliconed in several spots inside and outside. Since the gasket is most likely toast I may be switching to the 68-69 style.
Also found an awesome welding job on the support brackets, not sure what the proper nomenclature is for it. Also found that the rear fenders were patched from the door to the tail lights. The front has rivets and some welds but the rest looks welded.
Now a frame question for the viewers, I asked in the chassis sub-forum and didn't get a reply. I have attached a picture of where the front of the passenger side rear frame rail attaches to the floor pan. This doesn't look right to me with the gap.
