1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

[L78_Nova]

Having some previous experience with Novas, I know where to probe for potential rust problems. The forward fuel tank brackets are susceptible to road spray and it is common for the trunk floor to get soft spots above the tank brace where moisture and dirt accumulates between the sandwiched layers. The metal rusts and swells so to fix it properly it needs to be cut out from both sides. The underbraces are heavier so easiest to start here.











Sorry, only one poor picture of the finished patches. Lots of work to fix a few tiny perforations. The patches are the extreme left side of this photo.
