Hey Everyone, I am in need of some assistance. I am a novice (that is probably a stretch) yet I have managed to remove the entire front clip on my '55 Bel Air (2 door post). This has revealed a considerable amount of rust in areas that I am not sure what to do about. Pictures are attached to give you all a better idea of what I am talking about. One of the previous owners cut into the firewall, basically the outter side of the hood hinges which look in on the interior of the car. Not sure if what I am looking at is part of the dash, but the rust has eaten away a considerable amount of the metal. I just don't know what to do about it. It would be nearly impossible to get to unless I cut more into the firewall. Any help is greatly apprecaited! I can take more pics if needed.[attachment=2:3oapbl8y]IMAG0618.jpg[/attachment:3oapbl8y]
