    Go over to MaverickComet.com. Mark ( the webmaster) has a whole gallery of pictures showing how we fixed his car, including repairing the rusted out hood lip. It can be done if the rust is not too extensive. Don't worry about how ugly the car looks now. They all start of that way before they turn into swans.:)
