Post pictures of the worst rust projects ever seen

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-13-2004, 03:46 PM

I don't have any pic's gee emms blazer is the worst I have ever seen..

*Gee_Emm* · 10-13-2004, 06:00 PM

Heres mine, take note that the tailgate isnt even the one that is original to the truck, I guess the PO replaced the original GMC tailgate with this 'better' one.

I managed to save the glovebox door and wiper cowl, the rest was unrepairable even by my low standards.

*Gee_Emm* · 10-13-2004, 06:09 PM

Here is another one, it is on the passenger side at the back edge of the door looking foward.

Close the post I don't think anyone can top Gee_Emm.

And I thought my cab was bad.

This don't really count but I found this on the internet not mine. But the worst rusted out car I have ever seen.

68w/sbc406 · 10-13-2004, 08:36 PM

that kinda looks photoshoped.

kingsolver72 · 10-13-2004, 08:39 PM

Hey Gee Emm the last pic you posted looks like a Triceratops dinosaur.

**68 Stepside** · 10-13-2004, 08:39 PM

I don't think orange 70's pic is photoshopped, I've seen it on the net. Those mopars are BAD for rot. My buddy has a 71 duster 340 that needs 2 full quarters, trunk extensions, and rockers. Not to mention front fenders...and the car only has 70,000 original miles

68w/sbc406 · 10-13-2004, 08:41 PM

the shadows look kinda cartoonish on my monitor. but then again the monitor i am on sucks @$$ too.

*Randy70C-10* · 10-13-2004, 09:21 PM

The old Mopar looks like a New York car.

silvertonguedevil · 10-13-2004, 11:14 PM

That mopar picture is real. I've seen it before. It's is a Panther Pink '70 Roadrunner. Kinda sad actually.

saulgoode · 10-13-2004, 11:46 PM

Wow, Gee_Emm, I've seen tons of pis of your ride, but I guess none this close up of the rust. It is amazing the progress you are making. And, how the He!! do you get rust around by the door lock like that, I've never seen anything like that?

1969 GMC · 10-14-2004, 12:06 AM

I am trying to get a '70 C/30 dump truck that is sitting in my friends' yard. It hasnt been driven in 15 years, sinking into the ground. However from about the beltline down, its all rust. It also has door lock rust like Gee_emm's, but I cant believe its any worse than that. I am curious as to how strong the seat is at this point, the floor is so bad. However the truck has a 292, SM465 with a Chelsea PTO for the dump bed (which also rotted off and was replaced with some plywood) and an Eaton rear, so it should be good for parts.

HeavyD · 10-14-2004, 12:28 AM

That pink Dodge is on the website "Cars in Barns"..if anyone has a strong stomach and a love for of rotting musclecars, check it out. But best to view on an empty stomach, as what you will see there isn't pretty!

72 CustomCamper · 10-14-2004, 12:39 AM

Here's my old rust bucket...

724wdcopper · 10-14-2004, 12:55 AM

Cars in barns is worth checking out...it'll make you cry though.

toms68cst · 10-14-2004, 12:33 PM

CPNE has a picture of the worst rotted out truck I have ever seen. Anyone have that one?

Stryker67 · 10-14-2004, 12:40 PM

Now I feel pretty good about my truck after looking at the blazers. But, I'm trying to put mine back together......

Are your referring to the bed that "isn't"? I'm looking for that pic too. I do have this gem to share as well. I don't think rotted sheetmetal trumps a rotted frame :p If you can peel off the sheetmetal and start with a roller it's an easy resto project. When the frame folds in half, then you have a bit more of a challenge.

Just stick it in 4wd.
