Rust is a painful thing for those of us that try to restore vehicles back to health. As has been stated, my body guy and I have both cut things out to fix a bad situation and then weld the proper repair in place. Those NYSP SSPs are a nightmare to restore but someone with the determination will make it happen. I know that I've had a fully rotted A coded LTD that I brought back from the dead basically and it is properly restored to what it is now. I know that I really don't want to do too many of those restorations like that anymore so I look for more solid candidates but there will still be rust.
