Here is my little 68'. Originally a cali car, she appeared to have 0 to none rust when I purchased it. But at a closer inspection with a screw driver and a hammer, it revealed the hidden rot! And lots of it. Well, I guess it's time for surgery, I said to myself pulling out a grinder and a welder.
This car came with a good interior and decent repaint that I really did not want to mess up. This issue complicated pretty much everything except my floor job, as I could not afford cutting into my 1/4 panels and replacing the front fenders. When I cut her open, I realized that the car's rockers are rotting from the seams up and that issue will have to be dealt with later. Thats when I had to stop myself from replacing every panel on that car, meaning that I might as well restore the whole car! _________________ 68' 2002 DD

| Made a 18 gage rocker patch and butt welded instead of damaged outer seal. The bottom of the seal is seam welded to the inner seal, so I dont have two overlapping peices rot each other |

To my surprise that surface rust on the 1/4 spread all the way up the roof pillar and probably inside the roof. In a few years I might end up with a hole in roof. He he. _________________ 68' 2002 DD

I know what a k&n is. Even if you saw this kind on other cars, IT IS restrictive as hell.
Go on their web site and use the calculator, it will tell you the surface area of the filter you need so it will not be restrictive. All you need is to enter few parameters such as engine size.
