How rusty could it be? (Rear filler and Window channel replacement)

FInally loaded my '70 on the trailer and took her to the bodyshop today.

Here are a few pics.

Can it get much worse? :grin:

Rob,
I just parted a 71 that you could have removed this piece with a good tug.It was originally a florida car and had a vinyl top but it was destroyed.I have also seen them so rotted that it was bad clean into the speaker holes.Luckily for us, we have a couple good ones we cut off donor cars. I was told $250.00 a piece was too much but these were absolutely rust free and were sold.These are not easy to find and aren't easy to remove.I can't imagine how bad to replace,since I am not a body man.

this parts car just keeps given' and given' and given'....

 

Keep the pictures coming! I noticed that the parts car is a 4 door. Is the rear deck filler identical to the 2 door, or are mods required? Thanks, Rudy E.
