    The body parts are in really good shape. I am already working on cleaning these areas up. I do not have any areas of rust that need repair.
    no thats what i use to seal the back side up for after the out side was all welded to keep moister and water out of the back side of weld joint. to glue fender on like i said you would use a metal bonder like lord fusor or 3m
