Default 1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard
Rocker was in much better condition than the RH side

This is the sneaky little corner reinforcement bracket at the lower rear corner of the rear 1/4 window. The one that was missing from the RH side due to the shoddy original repair work. I don't have to make this side

Rear corner looks rough from drilling out the spot welds and air chiseling apart but... It was actually solid enough to hammer out and with some careful plug welding (with copper backer) I was able to get it back in shape.
No after picture
