I've got a 70 Roadrunner convertible & I'm doing bodywork getting ready for paint. I have some rust areas where the top corners meet the body (left & right of Dutchman panel) and in the corners of the trunk drip rail channel.
1. I see corner repair patches at Goodmark, AMD & Sherman, but they appear to be for hardtops. Can I still use these as patches with some modification or what should I do?
2. I'm pretty sure the trunk channels are the same as hardtops. What should I use to patch these corners?
THANKS FOR YOUR ADVISE!

I restored a road runner convertible some time ago. I can’t remember what I did in that area. But I would recommend stripping the area down to see what you are actually dealing with before buying anything. I think that area is leaded just like an e-body convertible. Here is a link to my restoration pics which may come in handy at some point in your Resto. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOd...2FXN2U0YlQwR213Tell me more about your runner!

When I did my Coronet a few years ago Year One had those convertible specific corner pieces. They needed to be massaged to line up body line. If you remember where you found those corners for a convertible, please let me know.

Hey Finoke, beautiful Roadrunner. You sold me a driver's door belt molding a year or two ago. I'm just now starting body work to get ready for paint.
What white paint did you use on the inside of your doors?
