Pop rivets...

It'll never look nice unless you do it right.

why don't you try finding some body panels for it at the local salvage yard that aren't all eat up with rust and swap the panels instead of trying to do it the wrong way with sheet metal and pop rivets. you could cut patch panels from sheet metal but at least get someone to MIG weld them in for you and then you finish them off with grinding and sanding and a light coat of bondo.

if you dont care about using bondo i suppose.... me i bought my car all rusty too, but i ordered all brand new body panels and floor and everything.. theres only about 1/2 cup of bondo on my whole car because of redroduction panels that arent 100%. if your going to put a lot of money into the car, you may as well do it right.

well the thing is that i will replace the fenders and my drivers side door from some junk yard cars if i can find one...or buy some cheap ones off ebay or online...but like near my door were close it or in front of my back tires i can't replace those thigns...i was acually thinking of just buying a mustang without an engine and trans for 400 or so check the body out and everything else tha ti know to check and buy it do a swap and use that and scrap the other car or use it as a project
