While I was working on the passenger side fender last Saturday, my brother and dad worked together to get the rear quarter windows out of the car. The passenger side fender had a couple of areas that were rusted through and other areas that had holes drilled, there were the holes for the emblems, not to mention the antenna hole all which I wanted to fill.

Using the mig welder I filled all the holes above and used an air grinder to smooth them over to prep them for a skim coat of Bondo.
I took pictures of only one quarter window before and after to get a sense of how bad the glass was. It was pretty fogged, but with a little elbow grease and some polishing compound I was able to work out the haze and get a crystal clear finish.

Unfortunately the chrome still isn't in great shape, but it'll have to do for now. It did polish and looks shiny, but the bad parts are still bad...all the polishing in the world wouldn't put chrome back where chrome is gone.
