Hello everyone, I just joined this forum and I also just purchased a 73 mustang! It's going to be a lot of work but she'll be a beauty when she's done, there was a section in the back right that had some rust issues, any ideas on what I should do about this?

oops, lets try that image again

Rusted areas need to be cut out and new steel welded in.

And what would you do about this section in the trunk?

cut it out, all mustangs rust there, buy yourself a new quarter panel and cut the old one out. Pics of rest if car?

The first picture is the tail light panel that is easy to get the 2nd the hole is on the outside on the quarter panel easy to get too.Look at http://www.ohiomustang.com/ they have the most parts for the 71-73 cars.

new tail light panel, probably need new bumper to trunk floor supports supports, new lower quarter patches, probably need trunk drop offs and possibly outer wheel house patches and get that house looking carpet out of there its probably not doing anything but holding moisture for no reason

Yeah you need a tail light panel, quarter panel, and possibly trunk floor.

rmodel, your signature makes me want to beat Rebecca Black's face in.... But I'm pretty sure that's the point.

why are you mad?

All right, the tail light panel I can handle, for the quarter panel do I just, cut out a section and try and seamlessly weld the new one in?

The car's got a V6 in it right now, with a 3 speed manual, but I found a 429 cobra jet with a 9" rear end that I want to put in it, think it'll work?
