Ok, here goes. I picked up this '75 last April in lower Maryland. It was advertised as a 2.0, it has a 2.0 badge on the back, and it looked pretty good from a distance (or with beer goggles).

IMO you really should cut out that rotted area. You still have rust in there the blaster couldn't get to. I know it's a PITA ( welcome to my world (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ) but do it once and do it right. I would also make new pieces for there rather then trying to patch those holes. It's just a couple of bends, nothing major. That metal is pretty damned thin from the rusting
