    I just came across this video and I appreciate the details. I just picked up my second KG Vert and need to replace the rockers (same as here). Someone said to look at the reinforcement brackets too.

    Gute Arbeit außen, aber was ist mit den völlig verrosteten inneren Blechen? Werden die nur zugedeckt ?
    Auf diese Weise bleibt der Ghia eine Ruine und die ganze Arbeit eigentlich umsonst. Ein Fake.
    Ein Karmann kann nur wirklich richtig repariert werden, wenn Karosserie und Boden vollkommen getrennt werden.

    Are all you people real.This is not panel craft it is real crap.Never seen such bodging in all my life,can not believe what I have just seen this guy do to a classic car. He is ruining the life out of it.

    What about the rusted structure that was behind the panel that you fabricated? Shouldn’t that have been patched/repaired?

    Loved this. I don't get all the trolls about covering rust… Did they not listen to your explanation as to how you stop the rust and what your intentions are for this car? Just ignore the trolls, Mustie 'n do what you do so well.
