Have any of you 58 owners done serious metal surgery on your cars?? I have one which I am intent on repairing. This car is a Belvedere 2 door hardtop with some serious rustout in floor areas, and trunk pans. The areas on each side of the rear glass is also rusted out. I have a parts car, (from a forwardlook member), which will supply decent floor supports and a trunk pan, but I need some encouragement here and would love to hear of any similar restoration success stories. I also would really love any info on availability of floor sheet metal and supports possibly being reproduced. This Belvedere seems to be fairly rare with factory air, power windows, power seat, searchtune radio, sportone with bumperettes (front and rear), 318, ps and pb. It also has tinted glass. She's so rusty though!! Upper panels and firewall seem to be solid. It's the rear clip and lower sections which have fallen victim. Let's here from all of you 58 FANS out there!
