A major accomplishment for me this last month.
After approximately 3 plus years( yes THREE
years) of a on again-off again work effort I FINALLY have my 67 Crown
Coupe completely stripped to bare metal. Armed with a DA sander and
80 grit stick on paper I successfully ground through two coats of
paint, bondo and primer.
I had initially tried using chemical stripper
but found it to be
messy and caustic with not much faster
results.
The good news is that my
67 as a western South Dakota vehicle. has only one area of
rust thru approximately 3 inches in diameter. Not having a MIG welder I am
considering using a metal bonding adhesive to glue in a patch panel. I am told
this works well.
The bad news is that the P/S fender , drivers door
,and part of the rear p/s quarter panel have all been worked over at one
time or another with bondo. So though rust free,my 67 was
definitely in a accident at sometime in its life.
Does anyone have a solution for filling holes
in the metal from a previous go-round with a dent puller?.
