Rust

Post by $500F100 »

Hello. I am a complete newbie to this site. I just bought a 1970 F100 Sport Custom LWB for $500. The truck runs but has significant rust/bondo around the chrome trim along the drip edge. Aside from that, the truck is in what I consider to be great shape considering what I paid for it. I don't really have the tools to cut out the panels around the windshield and doors and weld in new ones. What are some of my options? Thanks. Before pics are in the making. :D

:hi: and :wel: to the site. I really have no experence yet with the drip edge. I would say go into the body forum and post this question. You will get a much better response there. Anywho, enjoy.

Welcome from FL! I'll be watching the drip rail report...something we all will probably have to deal with sooner or later.
