HaHa,Yea one thing about me I can't stand doing bodywork and paint and wondering how long I got till it rust from the inside.So the only way I'm truely happen is to try and get the panel rust free in and out.I'll cut a perfect rocker off a truck cause I know theres rust back there.(I wonder if they have medicine for that)The hood I bought looked perfect and I paid for perfect but once I wire brushed the front panel little holes started appearing.I bought a front panel from Top Banana and it took me 20 min to get the old one off and I'm glad I did.There was 46 years of dirt and rust behind that panel and would have definitely popped through later.I won't have to worry about it now sorry so long.
