Re: my rust prob!
not an odd place for rust, but it takes a long time for it to get there. It starts on the lip inside the wheel well where the quarter connects to the frame, slowly rotts that and works its way into the car. I has rust starting there, it was just getting into the car, nothing anywhere near what you have but it was starting. I cut the heavy stuff out years ago and just used some heavy rubber insulating compound to cover the bare metal, then just recently chopped it all out when i did my mini tub job.
I hope you cut all the rust out and at least painted the bare metal before glassing over it. It can still come back it you didnt
