Looking good. I had the same rust-out, but in a 67 Mustang. I fixed it the same way, by patching, welding, filling, grinding and finishing. A LOT of work, but the results were outstanding.

347 is that the epoxy primer there in the picture? I guess you spray epoxy primer first then body filler?

If they have to pull the rear window, and repair rusted-out sheetmetal, then yea it will be up there.
You pay a certain premium to own an old car, and rust-repair usually part of it.

the right side did real good I think, my very first time does this body work stuff
The left side had a spot that lifted, I sanded the whole back panel under window before laying any body filler or painting any filler primer, but did not do any work right there, i think its from the other body work that was done, a small dote keep popping up so I pushed it in and then the old paint peeled right up. IDK!

I made the metal as close to the shape as I could then I used duraglass, then bondo after I laid trim on top and marked it took off and sanded by hand, on the flat spots I used a block hope this helps
