I would like to keep all original metal (but it's just a basic '69 Firebird with factory air, 4-speed, 8 track, etc.)as possible but I do not want any trouble down the line with patch panel work showing through the paint. I would rather take care of the problem now since the car is down to its shell.
I have other issues about replacing full or patches in the trunk and floor area that I will post at a later date.
