Do you know the full extent of the rust? Have you checked the #2 and #3 mount areas? Have you pulled the A pillar and header trim? Pulled the dash pad?

I am not sure Brad would want to take this on, but you could check at Harborvette in Erie. He painted my car, does restoration work specializing in Vettes....and he is a master. Won't be cheap. If I was retired all ready....I would consider taking it on. I am in Latrobe.

You can shoot MidYearMitch@gmail.com a note and he may be able to suggest someone or he may have some openings if he isn't too far. Good Luck !
