Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super

Been working on massaging dents with hammer and dolly and now wiping with thin coats of filler. I've watched quite a few YouTube videos by Eastwood and learned several tricks and tips. Tailfins have a large leaded joint on the inner side. New playtoy is the orbital inline sander with 40 grit. Lays waste to the excess filler and gets you real close super fast! I'm basically done with the roof and quarters, starting on the doors tomorrow. I'll recoat with Direct to Metal Epoxy one last time on Sunday and then I can start with the Feather-Fill polyester primer/surfacer. This constitutes about half of the sheet metal and these parts will basically be ready for paint in about 2 weeks. No hurry for paint though, as I haven't even fit up the powertrain and done sheetmetal work to the firewall and trans tunnel.
