Since we have been trying to bust ass on my car and get it all in primer in the next few weeks, I decided to start messing with the front hood. I knew it had a few rust bubbles, but shouldn't be that big of a problem. After I got the paint all stripped and was cleaning things up, I noticed that this hood had foam? in the very nose of it. Now I know where the rust came from and why the hood on my other car is rusting in the same place!!!! Does the hood need this foam or am I better off digging it out ??

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Andy Good.....I was hoping that was the thing to do. I spent a couple of hours last night digging the crap out of the nose of the hood. When we get around to working the back half, I will remember to dig it out too!!! Thanks again Andy !!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
