While addressing a couple rust areas, I ran into a hard white substance that was painted over body color. It appears to be squirted or brushed on pretty thick. It wasn't applied with much care. I was able to chip, wire brush, or sand it out. I'm curious:
This is surrounding the heater vent tubes in the engine compartment.  This is covering a half-circle cut-out in the driver floorboard just ahead of the pedals.  I'm guessing the same stuff was used in the rear trunk over the screws holding the muffler shield bracket. |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Oct 23 2024, 05:57 PM)  Factory painted over it. Designed to be painted over. No issues at all. Don’t judge me on the hillbilly AC holes patch job. I have the proper Restoration Design panel but needed these gaping holes filled in short term for a cross country move. Didn’t have time to do it to my satisfaction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Ha! That's impressive! His "half/ass hillbilly" job is one of the better repaired frunk floors I've seen... That looks "permanent finished" to me! It's NOT concours but that is nice! Now, seam sealing a temporary job that you INTEND to replace is a bit on the "Mental" side of things... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) Had to be seam sealed to withstand the rainstorms it went through going cross country. Now painting it that was certainly mental (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
