I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUNT USING EARL`S WOOD HARDENER BUT I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS A few more holes filled. Wednesday 5.2.20 the tooth pics now being sanded flat.

FINAL BODY METAL REMOVAL

Image
FINAL BODY METAL REMOVAL This is the fist time I had seen all the wood without the scuttle on it. I was not surprised about any of the condition of the wood as I had seen most of it anyway. the drivers side is better than I thought, the bottom is solid but the top had Mrs Ant and her 2k kids living in there. they Kindly relocated. sanded a large chunk of this today too, spent a whole lot of time getting all the crap some one had used to try and get the body metal to stick to the wood with very little success. this is the passengers side what I would call A pillar. the bottom isn't bad surprisingly. the top was fooked. but I knew this before I started. this is the 3 pieces of body metal removed and getting ready for storage. I will show a few pics of the scuttle once I get it flat again.
