Dear Jeff:

These cars started rusting soon after hitting the road so your case looks better than most. If you just want to drive the car getting a better one will only have it rusting out too.

Given the Clipper is not worth spending a fortune on there are products out there that can stabilize the situation and be painted over. One is West Systems G-Flex epoxy. One time I came out from under a 56 Packard and when I grabbed the bottom of the fender if started to come apart. I put it back together with G-Flex and unless the car was on a lift you would never know it was there. The outside looked untouched and felt like new steel. I wouldn't hesitate to use G-Flex to glue a whole floor in place, or reinforce rotted pillars, quarter panels etc. The stuff is good.

Not every car can be resurrected so this product will go along way to helping people keep their cars without a divorce.
