Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
We may have a contest Keith...
My 68 Alpine Blue GTO had runs across the whole trunk jamb and the pass door jamb and light sprayed on the rockers... The 70 Judge conv I painted 15 years ago also a PON car had 2 big globs of lead repairing dents in the door jamb looked like someone jabbed it with a fork lift then repaired it using a butter knife.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Not to take us too far afield, but my car features:
Hairs in the paint (quarter panels) Hand prints in the hood (qty 2) A "swiped" area on the deck lid where it looks like they wiped off some kind of solvent and then sprayed over it Front edge of RH door rubs on rear of fender Sheet metal screw shot through main body wiring harness Also alot of waviness in the panels (around the hood scoop, when sighting down the quarters and C pillar area) K

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
I was going to ask if you had tried the clay bar. I think that Griots might have been one of the first with that. Amazing how it works

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
I have experimented and have come up with a black liquid latex rubber which can be used to repair weatherstrip ends or re-adhere the skin to the foam and is waterproof after curing.
I will take some photos and show what is possible.
