1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

[L78_Nova]

Rear window channel. Right side of rear window channel was a little rough... a little too far gone to use the old JB Weld trick.

I made patches from scrap with pre-bent edge for two reasons. First, the break along the edge better resists warping. Second, in some places the pits were all the way around the edge.

I didn't have a piece the perfect width so I did this in two halves.

Top side cut open



Here you can see how rough the lower edge was. This will be cut out later.





Top side welded in. Bottom edge has now been cut out.







Fitting the lower side patch. Here you can see the shape I used. Had to use two pieces on the bottom (depleted my scrap pile)



First bottom piece welded in



Little bit left to go... put the camera away too early... sorry.



Also made a couple small patches to the face of the channel further to the left, no pics
