Both rear quarters, the top, and the right front have the
old paint removed.


The rt frt fender is in very nice shape except for a little
repair in the lower rear corner.


The top and the right side got hailed badly, this corner is stretched and
caved in severely, it may take a little heat to repair it.
There has also been a CB antenna mounted on it in the past.


We have some very nice doors from another car, this is the front inside corner
of one of them after power washing.

The rear quarters are bare, both look good by comparison.Most 72 el Caminos are rusted off from the wheel opening down.The left front fender has been repaired and has a lot of bondo.The right front looks pretty good so far.We have both doors from another car that are exceptionally clean, the doors on this car have rust issues in the corners and hail damage on the right door and trim.

In spite of a few small rust issues and a horrible repair, this qtr. panel is remarkable.


No rust through here at all, we will clean up, inspect, and treat the inside.

This is the left rear opening, amazing!


This portion of the opening was a plastic sculpture.


The bottom portion of the repair is pretty good, the upper portion--well, he got 'er done.

The right side has been damaged on the corner and pulled out, so-so job.
Lots of hail damage, we will probably just bondo them, doesn't hurt anything,
leaves it for someone else to make worse.

Top of the opening is excellent, a lot here to work with again.


It still looked good where the bondo was deep.
Over all, we are very pleased with the condition of this car, much more rust was expected.
You just don't know until you are to bare metal.
