A couple of years ago I joined FABO to help with restoring my sons 66 Valiant 100, father son project for his first car.
His passenger side doors were dented and the outer skin was stretched. We found one in a local junk yard and ordered a second pristine door from south west Texas. The door we got locally had some strange paint on it. It seemed to be mixed with sand, and was extremely thick. Sandpaper only piled it up in knots. My son spent hours and had both doors down to completely bare metal all over. They looked like they had just been assembled in the factory. I was impressed. Particularly since my son has ADD and usually gives up rather quickly.
