Lassie! Where's Timmy? Stuck in the Top Well again?

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.

  1. Dr. Bondo! Good work as usual. I like your blog updates. I have 10 pictures to show a little bit of work, and you have 8 pictures that show alot more. How much real time do you have in the work in this entry?

    Also, I hear that seam sealer is excellent to spread on toast for breakfast!

    Take care bu

  3. 65turbostang,

    That area took about 3 evenings. Seam sealer took a long time to cure. (I think it's still curing) I had to apply a lot of sealer into the the area for the water run off. I usually use the mint flavored sealer for fresher breath!
