I just picked up a 72 Dart. It has a pretty new paint job and looks like a great car. On close inspection both rear lower rear quarters, behind the back tires are pretty thick in bondo and there is evidence of some interesting body repair (sheet metal screws) looking from the backside of the quarter. Both corners by the rear window/trunk are heavily molded with filler as well. But, everything feels solid.

The car looks good, the paint is solid, no visible rust, and I'm in central Texas so that helps. I plan to use this car as a daily driver, 50 miles of highway driving a day, parking outside.

Will the body work hold up? Can I expect the car to stay looking decent for quite a few years or will these body repairs come back to haunt me pretty soon? I have no experience with heavily rust repaired vehicles.
