Looking good. I had the same rust-out, but in a 67 Mustang. I fixed it the same way, by patching, welding, filling, grinding and finishing. A LOT of work, but the results were outstanding.

347 is that the epoxy primer there in the picture? I guess you spray epoxy primer first then body filler?

If they have to pull the rear window, and repair rusted-out sheetmetal, then yea it will be up there.

You pay a certain premium to own an old car, and rust-repair usually part of it.

Do you weld or know someone, I pulled my own window, and had a welder from my farther in law.

the right side did real good I think, my very first time does this body work stuff

The left side had a spot that lifted, I sanded the whole back panel under window before laying any body filler or painting any filler primer, but did not do any work right there, i think its from the other body work that was done, a small dote keep popping up so I pushed it in and then the old paint peeled right up. IDK!
