I have been away for awhile, but I am back (If house and family will allow me some free time??? LOL) My 88GT is staring to rust and I intend to stop it.

1) There is rust strating on the rear hatch, where the wing makes contact (near tail lights). When I wash the car I notice that water seems to get trapped in there. Could the wing be mounted incorrectly? Has anyone heard of this before? Is there away to prevent the water from being trapped in there?

2) Each rust spot is smaller than a dime. Should I use Bondo? I have some experience burning lead (on batteries) has anyone heard of using lead to repair small rust spots?

3) It is winter time in NJ and may get cold in my garage (finally completed the garage). Can Bondo be used in cooler tempatures?

Thanks in advance

Chuck
