1967 Dodge Dart GT daily driver build
I did a little more work on the Dart recently.
Seeing that I had this rust damage in the trunk that I was repairing, I knew water was leaking in from somewhere… most likely the rear window. I was also suspecting that the Dutchman panel had been replaced by a previous owner long ago. So I decided to pull the rear window out and check to see. Sure enough, I’ve got bad rust in my lower window corners. I also noticed that the Dutchman panel had been replaced previously, and during that “repair” they cut the old one off the rear package tray and didn’t weld the new one back to it. In fact, they had hacked the tab/attachment point off to where they couldn’t be welded together. So I ordered a new Dutchman panel and some new inner lower window corners. I plan to fabricate the rest.
