Re: 1940 Packard 120 Convertible Restoration
Pics of the rust. There won't be much original Packard metal in the lower 8" once we're done.
Trunk area.
Bondo check... used my 3" grinder to get to bare metal around the bottom edge. Lots of filler over caved in metal, and there are gobs of brass showing around all the "patches".
Old floor "repair" with aluminum pop riveted over the original rusty floors. The rivets had fallen out long ago.
