As shown on my build thread, I am working on the rear of the body, including the trunk lid. This is a donor lid I got last year to replace the rusty original.
Now with the work I was doing to straighten the new lid edge, I found rust where I thought was clean--should have known better. Attached thumbnail(s)

I completely removed the skin on one hood I did. I blasted everything then repaired what was necessary the put the skin back on. Saved time in the long run.

How did you remove the skin from the frame? The frame appears to be captured by the rolled edge of the decklid skin. Did you cut around the edges, or did you actually un-crimp the edges? I’m wondering because I’ve got a lightly bent hood that could be fixed if the two parts were separated. |
