I’m going to take mine to my favorite el cheapo body shop on Monday to see how much it will cost to fix this spot on my driver’s side B-pillar. If it costs too much, the boss has ordered it to be sold :(

Can you see it with the doors closed? If not, that’s good news.

Optispark or not? You can part it out for a decent profit. Sell those interior bits on ebay.

Is the radiator fixed? Running like a champ again?

No, it just popped through. I stabbed it with a screwdriver, it didn’t make it all the way through, but it’s soft.

The interior bits are mostly broken. Yeah, it’s an LT-1, so it has Optispark.

Looks totally fixable, especially if appearance is not that big an issue.

Yep. Got the radiator installed Monday, it’s running great!

That sucks. But if the Boss ordered it.. You don’t want to get written up!

It definitely can be fixed, the question is will it be at a cost I can stomach/get approved by the boss.

Holy crap, always hard to see such nice cars in hopeless condition. Not sure if your bargain basement bodyshop would actually fix anything, theyll most likely just cover it in bondo which won’t improve anything, the rust would come back sooner or later.

They did a fine job welding a new quarter panel on my truck. Five years on that work is fine. Their paint work is iffy, but I don’t care about that on the Roadmaster.
