Default Re: Interest in new restoration project thread?

Kube, thank you for the additional information. I remembered you had said earlier in the thread about plastic bead blasting the sheet metal. I was not aware of the limitation this process not removing rust.

I also understand your concern about chemical stripping with seams and lapped joints, I have seen the telltale signs of the chemical leaching out of seams years after the body was dipped.

I think my options for a repop tailpan for a 37 coupe are pretty limited, EMS or make it myself. I did find an article in an old V-8 Times issue discussing how a fellow made a repair tail pan panel. That will be a challenge.

Again, thanks for putting this thread together. I enjoy following along.
