The door hinge bracket shouldn't be welded on anyway, unless some previous owner did it. I didn't catch a license plate so can't tell where you're located, but if the car has seen lots of winters, hopefully you don't find the kind of rust I did when you pull that front fender. Behind the top hinge bracket was in bad shape on both sides when I pulled mine, but it wasn't noticeable when the fenders were on.
Just started watching the video where you picked the car up so sounds like it may have been an Ohio car for at least part of it's life if not all of it so possibly saw some winters and road salt... Definitely check behind the top hinges when you have the fender off. Three thin layers of metal come together behind that hinge, and moisture seems to somehow get trapped between the layers and rot that area from the inside out. Mine was only showing minor signs of rusting where a cover plate was welded right behind the hinge. Once I started poking around and cutting, it was clear that there was a lot of rust hidden behind that area. Another possibly hidden rust area is on the frame rails just under and behind the firewall. I had no idea mine were rusting until I stripped all the undercoating off. It was another spot that appears to rust from the inside out. Sounds like your car was pretty clean though, so hopefully yours are good. Be careful with all that KA power... don't let it get away from you...
Thanks for the heads up! Definitely hope I don’t find any hidden rust. What was told to me by previous owner was it didn’t stay in Ohio long at all and the Carfax matches. It was originally a California car so I believe it has a good chance of not having rust and now being in Alabama, should stay that way.
@@Nightshiftmotorsports Seems reasonable given the damage to the clear coat in a lot of places. You don't see that kind of paint damage in the more Northerly states that often, since we're not allowed to see the sun much (I'm in the Chicago-area, but would love to move further south)... I dunno about you, but I'd rather clean up a tired paint job than clean up a bunch of rust any day of the week!
@@Nightshiftmotorsports ah okay. Well if you do have some tribal background then it explains if not I have no problem with it as long as you don’t claim that you do. It’s nice that people represent our culture but I hate it when people are posers. Either way nice tat man
i am excited for the next video 👍

Is that a tribal tattoo? If so what kind anyways I like it
It’s actually a treble clef. Grew up playing music and figured a tribal treble clef would be pretty cool on my arm
