You know I am not nearly as brave as some of these guys who are into major weld repairs on the rockers and such or the early backdates those guys were my inspiration that anything can be done. I started with a 100 amp arc welder and a stitch attachment now I have a MIG and am still learning how to get a good uniform bead. I only had one rust bubble and no others thats pretty good for having the car for 26 years. I am the 2nd owner of this car and it only had 8000 miles on it when I got it it had been stolen and stripped and I resurrected it from a weed patch in downtown Honolulu the guys working on their VW bugs next door were using to tie off their tarp. The guy who helped me to get it rough and rolling will forever be in my debt.
