    how do the bottoms of the quarters look? Almost looks like some rust bubbles in the pic.

    There's no rust along the whole driver's side or front passenger side, but the lower rear quarter on the passenger side is rusted all the way through behind the rear wheel (typical). The roof also has quite a bit of surface rust and bubble rust and the passenger door has the typical rust at the bottom front. The driver's side door and fender are not original and look to be from a 70 Maverick, but no rust.

    I'm thinking of cutting out the rear quarter panel part off of the junkyard Mav to replace the rusted part. Does anyone know if this is a cost effective way to go or is patching better? Also, is the bubble rust along the roof raingutters a major problem to repair?

    Thanks everyone for the help and support.
