Scott updated my December feature with about 30 new pics I sent him, but I thought I would share a couple to show how not to repair a car, because I find them hilarious.......Note the gallon of what looks to be "Liquid Nails" filling the giant rust holes under the rear seat, the custom fit and quality constructed "wheelhouse repair component kit" used in the wheelwell, and what is left of the rear frame rail....yeah, she was a real beauty once the media blaster hit it.... :rolleyes: :lol:

Jeff, I didn't know Joe Dirt was into GM cars. ;)

Looking at the car today, you'd never imagine it looked like that in the beginning. Excellent story, and I hope the car stays with your family a LONG time!
