Figured I'd share some trials and tribulations. New England car that had some "repairs" done in the 90s including rockers and plating the torsion crossmember. I took my time, replaced a sh$t ton of metal and added a few reinforment precautions (car will see some track time). New crossmember, new inner fenders and cowl bracket. Fixed/killed most of the rust. A lot more work left to do but pretty happy so far. Originally /6 auto, now 340 4 speed 8 3/4. Thanks!

I'd like to sometime down the line. For now I just want to get the front of the car put together.

Excellent product from 3M, is what I used with factory results... 3M Brushable Seam Sealer #08656

Hello from New Hampshire . Great job , keep up the work . I have a '72 Scamp (same car really) that I found in Scituate R.I. back in 2000 . I was living in "The Peoples Republic of Massachusetts " at the time . thankfully there were no holes in mine . I used 3M seam sealer in chaulking tubes and tooled the seams by hand . That is all that's necessary , good stuff . BTW I have a few spares if you need any . Later , Tom
