I've been working to R&R the rear panel on my project and while doing so I was having trouble finding the seam at the top of the panel on the sides near the trunk panel. Since there were so many small areas up there, I decided to burn the paint off with my propane torch to get a clearer view.
When I hit the top corners of the panel where the trunk channel ends with the torch, after the paint came off I was shocked when a mystery substance started melting out of the channel, running down and dripping onto the floor. It was bright and silver and was a lot like, if not exactly like, solder. It was on both sides, so I presume this was a factory thing, but I've never seen anything like it. Does anyone know what it is, what it's for and why it is there in the first place? BTW - Still no luck finding where the rear panel detaches at its top! I've included a picture of what it looked like when it dripped and cooled: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-22543-1570150884.1.png) |
