rust (I feel sick)
I picked up my 68Rs last fall . I could not find a speck of rust any place on it. Car was perfect. Over the winter setting in my garage on a tarp with a new car cover I went to wax and found a rust bubble behind the driver rear wheel (SICK) I don't drive in the ran Its a nice day cruiser only. I paid a premium price for the car it was spotless .Now in the shop getting bad spot fixed. I hope this is not going to turn in to a yearly event fixing rust spots? Maybe I should sell it but I really don't want to. I had the car appraised for 35K . Do you think this is a one time bad spot. The shop fixing the car thinks so.
1968 RS 327 auto with air new every thing. Yes new every thing !(new rust spot[&o])

the problem is that even a decent shop can strip the body clean and start from bare metal, but the problem is that rust starts from the inside so even if they had a mint looking panel to start with, it could keep coming from the backside

Puke, barf... You'll find that Camullets, just like any/all cars that were basically worthless at one point and are now trading for rediculous monies, have had less-than-savory repairs over the years. You always hear to buy a restored car rather than do it yourself, but this is an example of buying something that someone else has repaired, andmaybethe repair is questionable and/or less-than-satisfactory.
My advice is to just drive it, have a blast with it, and repair it as necessary. If this means you fix bubbles now and then, so be it. After all, it's not a new car, and Camullets were known for rust issues within a few years of new back in the day, anyway.... Some of the rustiest cars I'veever seenwere 1st Gens.
