Just my 2 cents and not trying to be an *** but is that a hard line on the primer that has an edge? Not a good idea if it is.
Blending the primer in is better than a hard line that could show up even after its been sanded.
 
No reverse or 1st
also not an expert but we had a 55 ford truck with a c4 in it with the same thing happen. the band adjuster broke in half and it slacked the band off all the way and it was just sitting there slipping and doing nothing. considering it was an immediate failure could it be a possibility?

i'm going to be sanding it down while doing body work then another coat of primer which will be a little higher.. i need to research a better way to do it anyway.. planned to before i spray it next time..

No not being a *** at all.. i am grateful for any help.. i just kinda learn as i go

The kid is making a reasonable guess.

Damn that thing is awesome! I am feeling bad bout leaving mine with bad paint but i like that it's mostly the original and i don't need to worry bout scratches or anything
Mine is all original paint. I’m leaving it. Shiny paint causes stress :lol:
 
Thanks for the Birthday wishes guys!
Was a good day. Didnt get the box on Studebaker though. Wife conspired and made a party. Too many friends i have trust issues with now…
