[QUOTE=mgarblik;6386221]GM cars were so bad under the best conditions, it would be hard to be optimistic about that one. A real shame. The 70 TA I had was purchased in 1977. In 7 years of normal use before I bought it, the only usable sheet metal on the car was the roof and surprisingly the rocker panels. Hood, deck lid, quarter panels, fillers, valance panels, fenders, door skins all had rust holes through them. Metal was replaced, original metal was treated with the best materials of the time. Within 10 years of careful use, it began rusting again. Whoever they flip the car to better try and enjoy it quickly.[/QUOT

Mike, I agree but it is the ONLY way I can think of to save this vehicle.
