Check your PMs. I`ll expect one back.

That area is not that visible, I would patch them. how is the trunk area below the rear window? The replacement trunk pan does not include that part of the trunk.

I used 3 different brands of seam sealer before I found one that applied easily and could be sanded.

Do tell, I may just have to grind mine out and redue it.

Don't grind, just apply another coat on top of what you have.

What brand seam sealer did you find that was sandable??

05GTO

I don't remember the name, I purchased it from an automotive paint store and it was in a tube that i used in my caulk gun. I would apply it over the seam and use a bondo blade to smooth it. Then sand it with 80 grit.

Hey Randy,
I really appreciate the pics. I will print them if I can and take them to the body guy to make sure it's done properly.

Hey guys,
I went to take pics of the dash yesterday for a couple of dash restorers. I decided to check out the package tray and noticed that there may be rust under the cardboard but couldn't look at it very good. I bought the upper deck panel for behind the window, is there a piece I can buy to replace the metal under the cardboard? Or do I have to take one from another car? I'd like to get all my ducks in a row for my parts are arriving next week and I'm taking the car in. Would like to have all that is needed to make a smooth paint job, no surprises....
Thanks
Linda

The rusted areas on the rear seat brace and under the package tray may be an indication of a leak from the top of the rear window seal. Here is a picture I took of the same area during the restoration. I would check with your local junk yards.


I purchased a dash from Mr. G's Fasterens, they work on a core exchange.

The dash cluster I did myself, you can find the new lenses, the clock was purchased from The Parts Place on a core exchange. The speedometer was rebuilt, zeroed and calibrated locally.

Hey Randy,
Exactly what I was talking about! My braces have rust on the bottoms. I know the bottom of the window is rusted out, but I haven't checked the top. It doesn't really matter at this point....it's all going to get fixed. I guess there isn't an aftermarket piece for this area?
