Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Continuing with some alignment issues. Dropped the back right corner of the hood a little and brought the adjacent corner of the passenger door in a smidge. Looks same as other side now. I had gotten the trunk lid pretty close a few weeks ago, but had a couple problems. Left side was up in the center like something got slammed under it and bent it. Beat that back to shape with a mini sledge and a block of wood. The corner of the lid in pic was nearly touching the side even though it was good everywhere else. I determined it was due to a bit of sloppy work when the quarter was replaced, probably very early in the car's life. Anyway, I banged the side back to where it should be and shaped it with a little filler. While in there I saw that much of the lid had light rust under the edge, so wire brushed and sprayed that. One area a few inches long is rusted through. I will still need to do something with that.
