Auto Rod Tech's metal shaping and fabrication thread

[jlcustomz]

A good metal patch is like a good hair transplant job, you won't know it's there. Doing metal work, I kinda see it actually looking for it, but then I don't. I have a HD desktop monitor screen. Also read about it on another forum.

The biggest difference between this tri-5 & thousands of others down the road would be in 10 to 30 plus years from now when a future buyer decides to strip & redo the body. They should have an opposite of the usual surprise of what's under the paint.
Between all the attention to detail on rust protection prep & having something like SPI epoxy primer sprayed where the sun won't shine, who knows how long a vehicle like this could last with only part time use & proper care.

Are the factory trunk emblems & lock going back on? To me the 57's with a shaved trunk lid just look a whole lot cleaner.
