`70 road runner - finally getting to the restoration!

Doors corners are really clean but looks like some previous owner tried to jack the car with the drivers one.

Stripped the outside and happy to find nice clean metal. A couple hours with stud gun, body file and hammer and dolly straighted out the dings and dents.

Passenger door cleaned and epoxied on the inside along with the outside of drivers door. Next is to strip outside of passenger door.

Passenger outside is not as nice, small rust spots in lower front that blow thru but still overall pretty nice .

Hopefully the last skim and I can get epoxy on it tomorrow or Saturday. Also skimmed a slight wave on the roof.

Got some NOS rebuild kits off e-bay fairly cheap for my rear wheel cylinders but upon disassembly I found water/fluid mix which caused rust pits in the bores. I'm currently looking for some good used ones with the correct part number.

Threw the trunk lid up on a stand and started peeling back the lower lip. I knew it was swelled from rust but wasn't sure how bad, when I opened it up I knew there was no chance of saving it as it literally started peeling off along the edge. I'm not sure what if I'm going to fix it, try and find a good used one or go with a new AMD panel?
