i read the replies that i received. i da’d the roof today with 80 grit and did a skim coat as i kenw there were some low spots after doing hammer and dolly. i will knock that down tomorrow and see what i have. quick question….how do you thin the filler to make it flow better? i have seen it on tv where t looks like water but mine always seems thick mixing as directed. i am using rage brand…..
Jayson M….thanks for the reply. nice to see another TC member, i have seen your handle and you have probably answered some of my questions over there, i use the same name to keep it simple. thanks for the offer to answer questions as they come up. i feel a bit more sure that i am on the right track now and can really get it started.
Ahopkinson46…..the roof, one qtr, and the firewall are all original. i stripped them down with aircraft stripper and treated with phospate to slow the rust. the rest of the body had to be replaced. i used AMD as sheetmetal source and have the EPDM on them, which is tough. i tried to wipe with laquer thinner and nothing happened. the rear deck filler panel is not coated, but treated with phosphate. i have original fenders that are in pretty rough shape, so i picked up a aftercrash, i think they are dynacorn, have not checked fit yet as body is on rotesserie
My shop is pretty stable and i have not had any rusting, but its time to get everything covered up. why do you ask about the EPDM? i have been told it can stay but scuff with red scotchbrite pad and i have been told to remove it completely….which is the best practice?
Thanks for the reply last nite, nice to get such quick responses.
