Vic, one of the factory defects common to the 65 is the passenger cowl fit to the top of the fender.. (before you get too far along) :
We did a slice and dice to bring it down in the rear a bit
welded and dressed
We also repaired trunk seal channel, drip rail, sail panels, etc. Have a gander through here, it may give some insight into other trouble spots to check out.
