Gbody sells all those replacement parts and weatherstripping...Looks like you will get to practice your welding skills

Wow, that's pretty far gone. Gonna end up with more new metal than old. Quite the project.

Agree - you'll be able to get your welding skills up for sure

yeah your right about the weilding skills are being sharpend. i already got all of the driverside repaired. i had to do some hardwork body work. I formed floorpans out of a f-350 bed finder. all i had to cut them was a pair of old tin snips.. worst mistake of my life. my hands are spent.once i spent the entire day forming that metal into the correct shape and deminsions. now once i place carpet over it no one will be the wiser.

I would go with a POR15 to protect from rust. My floors were solid and i still applied a coat. it was about $60

So the t top windshield post under the weatherstripping was still good? Unfortunately I'm gonna have to buy one for my Cutlass. Theirs was too much rot and it wouldn't have made a difference if I put new seals because it would still leak.
