69 442 rust problems

Many of the late 60's GM cars with the very large, flat rear window are notorious for being prone to rust out around the window and trunk lid. My 69 442 showed signs of rust cancer growing under the vinyl top, so I am having it repaired at a custom car shop in Houston. Project will include new roof and vinyl top, new headliner, and new windshield.

Here are couple of pictures of the work being done

Smart to get to it before it gets out of control.
