What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

[RunAwayNJ]

What a great weekend! The weather was perfect - finally made it out to some shows. Ship Bottom Fire Co show on Saturday was a great time! Live band and everything. We had our Bayville NJ cruise night later that evening, and then today was the Ocean County Vocational School show. Won a Best Oldsmobile trophy at that show!

well it was slow today at work so I decided to tackle the window felts. UGHH !! Lowered the window, all the screws came out fine but when I took off the top trim there was a rust bubble the size of a quarter under there right on the flat part of the ledge just forward of the mirror completely hidden by the trim.

SO the rest of my day has been spent digging out the rust with the dremel. Just the outer sheetmetal was rusted, the inner still looks fine. I brazed in a piece of metal then coated it both sides with Rust Convertor. Tonight will body fill and smooth the area, prime then paint and hopefully by Monday I can finally put the window felts in !!

Somedays I don't like working on old cars and their rust issues. Its a fairly simple fix that should last a lifetime but I think the next classic car I purchase will have to come from Texas or Arizona

Passenger side window felts done !!!! I only used 1 predrilled hole. I think the originals were put on by hand as they were held on with self tapping screws and when I tried to line it using the old holes the felt would not sit flat. I just lined up the forward one as close as I could then re-drilled new holes and re-used the self tapping screws. The inners were for sure original as they were held on with big staples. The new one goes on with pop rivets instead
