No sorry. Fairly new to the using the computer for auto related things. I started this internet car thing about the same time I sold the car, bout 3 years ago, so I have no pics. If it helps, I used thin cardboard, posterboard?, I think thats what its called, to make templates for the areas I needed to repair. I made the repair panels 3/8 bigger to give myself an area for the wholes I planned to weld shut. I had already purchase a medium priced pneumatic flanger/hole punch tool from a local auto parts store. This was the easiest way to get uniform holes about 3/16-1/4 round. I spaced them apart 6 inches or so, used a body hammer to tap the edges smooth after welding. I then used brushable seam sealer top and botton and went over both sides with Por15 after the sealer had set up.

By the way, really like your Cordoba. Had a 76 Charger, same basic body, for about 10 years. Had a smogger 400 in it, so I built a semi-stout cast crank 440 out of a motorhome for it, 2500 stall converter, 3.55 gearsand a posi. Big old tank did mid 13s with 9 inch slicks.
Thanks for the tips. Thank you for the compliment on the Cordoba. I am working on getting a 440 to drop in it soon.
