While I am repairing panels and detailing parts, I began working in the convertible top well area. I cleaned up and removed the old seam sealer and prep the area for primer.

I cleaned it up with a wire wheel brush on a drill. One small section had some surface rust. Painted that area with POR15.

Primer

Let it dry.

Apply a little seam sealer on the edge of the panels. I found some black cloth tape in this area on the edge of the panels when I was cleaning it up with a wire-wheel. I'll research this tape more. I know it was used to hold down wiring and I found it used to block off a large oval hole by the top frame and rear quarter window.

A little on the teeth :-)

Let it set up.

A little paint.
Take the rag top off next. I should have done it before this clean up. I'll post that next.
