What I discovered yesterday when poking around was on the flat area you see in the pic is a section about 30 inches in length that needs replaced..
too bad it is on a radius but you got the skills

I did make the patch for that


Unfortunately I found more rust and was ready to start making another patch which looked easy enough until proceeded a little further.
Don't have the tools to make it or the skills for that matter to make it .



Found out Midfifty sells the piece so can replace it from A-pillar to A pillar
