1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
So today I started on spooning with the trunk lid.... :). I am starting to get how to shrink and stretch metal. I still don't really understand why you have to do what you do to shrink it but it works. Got all the oil canning out plus almost need zero filler.... notice the missing blob of bonding... it will become important later....
Look mom, only 4 places I had to heat it the rest with "being one with the panel" and knowing where to spoon and dolly it.
Added the bonding to the hood to supplement the existing.
Shot it with epoxy ready for ..... wait for it...
Trunk is close to done...
On jack stands so the body lines are correct.
Need filler here to make it perfect...
Use the tape as a straightedge
Sand it like you would without the tape so you don't crack the filler when you pull the tape.
