I bought a ratty 71 satellite last year and plan on keeping it ratty but clean.
Heres whats rotted out
Major rust spots
-Front passenger side frame rail
-Cowl
The rest of the car is "solid" but has bondo spots in
-Lower rear quarter pannel driver-side
-Spotty patches in the front quarter panel behind wheel (drivers side)
-Some bondo lower rear quarter panel (passenger side)
-Slight rust in trunk
Floor pans have been replaced.
My main question is how should I fix the frame and cowl? have frame patched or buy another piece of frame off another b body? Same for the cowl?
Also, what's my best bet for replacing quarter panel? Off another car or buy new?
Thanks in advance 18 and first project car.
