    Hi all,

    Just bouught a 51 Chevy Deluxe coupe a couple of weeks ago and would like to see what others have done for rot around the rear windows. My apologies if this has been discussed, I did a search and couldn't find much on it. Since I don't have any metal fab equipment and there are no repro parts that I know of, what are my options? I was thinking would it be possible to find a car in the yard as I live near a pull-a-part and look for a window channel with similar depth or bends and cut it out and mig weld it to my car.

    I'm new to the list and really like this car and would like to save it. It was one owner believe it or not but sat outside unoperated for a really long time.

    Thanks!
