For those who have leaking rear windows (that would be all of you), this might be a bit gruesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Can this sail panel be fixed without cutting it out and replacing with a whole new (to me) one? Drivers Sail Panel \"Head-On\" Drivers Sail Panel \"Side View\" Drivers Sail Panel \"Side View 2\" This car is planned to be acid dipped. If this can be fixed with fiberglass or other material, what can be done to help protect the inside of the sail panel? I stuck a flashlight up to it, and of course. there is surface rust all over inside the panel. Is there a "foam" that could be squirted in there? Or squirt as much POR-15 as possible in there and then fill with a water resistant foam? Or....? |

There is rust in Arizona?
I agree, find a suitable donor car and replace the back structure. Use a replacement sail panel from Resto Design. I would then Por-15 the inner portions (that are not were you would be welding. Treat the rest of it with a Zinc primer and weld it up. I definately would stay away from foam or fiberglass. |
