Let me guess the car is getting painted Black.  LOL  Just remember someone stepped back from doing those "repairs" and thought good job.  I don't envy you James rust buckets always suck to repair.  I need to take some pictures of Frankenstang (a car we have at work) you would be impressed with the quality of "repair" done on that crapbox.

Allright guys for your viewing pleasure I bring you Frankenstang.  This car was bought in Florida by a customer at the shop I work at he wanted a mustang he could commute back and forth to work in. This was the way the car looked when he bought it       After a quick look over I say don't strip the car, do the drivetrain and you have your mustang. Enjoy. "But I would  like it Green" the customer says, "and if you are going to paint it you might as well start from scratch". So it gets stripped and off to the blaster.  This is what comes back !   Sweet cowl repair, No use using up all that welding wire, Bondo's water proof isn't it ?   You don't cut out the bad you just cover it, kind of like a Band-aid. Speeds the "healing"   Oh thats why the door was a little mis-adjusted   Just can't get the metal to stop evaporating when I weld it, strange.   Hey look more Band-aids !   This is looking towards the quarter thru the trunk.  I fixed that evaporation problem, you screw the patch panels in and bondo will take care of the rest. There are more problem areas, but you get the ideal, This thing had rust everywhere. I told the owner to go dump it in the persons yard he bought it from. That or turn it into a Drag car (I could see it -  perimeter frame, rollcage, just prime it with no bodywork and Frankenstang  lettered on the side)   I have to say whoever did the bodywork on the thing was one heck of a bondo spreader, because from the outside before it was blasted it didn't look that bad. I think his motto was "Cave it and Pave it"
