1969 Dodge Dart Custom Sedan Slant Six, Father-Son Project
Body Work
Doing automotive body work is a kind of an art form - it takes a certain finesse and skill-set to pull it off. Very humbling to attempt on one's own. Lotta sanding is involved for us rookies.
The project budget dictated that the dozen or so minor dings and dents needed to be fixed by us. By the time the last one was worked over, it wasn't too tough. Wide drywall taping knives, and using contrasting guide coat go a long way to doing it well. The body shop would be stripping most of the original paint off anyway, so at least we didn't have to worry too much about trying to feather our repaired areas into the surviving paint.
