Rusty whale tail can it be fixed

I have a whale tail on my 83sc and it is rusting where the rubber meets the tea tray. I'd there a metal bar inside the rubber tail or is the rust coming from the tea tray. Is this fixable??

Don't own a tail. These are probably the best to threads to start with. -J

You're new. I'm gonna try and play nice.

Yes, I live in Oxford and yes the University of Mississippi pays a lot of bills at my house, but the fact of the matter is my wife and I are transplants and LSU alumni so we bleed purple and gold as it were. Combine the two and the disdain for all things University of Alabama knows no bounds.

A concise history of 911 engine lid spoilers can be found at the link below. It's mostly pictures so even an Alabama graduate can make it out OK. -J

More pictures available here.

Show me the original spoilers/wings for an SC

Whale tail / original equipment??
