Which car should receive bodywork first...

[79lincolnlover]

The Merc will be driven again this winter and will need attention before the Jan '10 inspection. The Ford will be going into storage in late October until May '10.

'93 Grand Marquis (rocker panels have rusted through)
'90 Crown Victoria (surface rust around wheel wells)

[1990LTD]

gm for sure

[1987cp]

Safety inspectors don't like to see rust?

Well if your going to be driving the GM then I would start on it. It sounds bad too

The way it used to work here is if the metal has rusted through so there was an actual hole, it needed to be patched.

the 90. wheel wells can be a bitch to fix if you let them go, rocker panels are always gonna be relatively easy.

Surface rust first. It may not have any holes so you will save yourself a panel replacement. The rockers are already rusted on the GM, so either way you are looking at replacement.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I agree, fix the vic first.
