Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

Guys: Thanks for kind words.

Dennis: Paint is said to be a sealer as well. Some of the metal I have collected from my buddy's dumpster is painted with this paint and has been out in my metal pile for years with no signs of rust. Also, all of my other '59 sheet metal has been primed with this for years (Yikes) now and none of it has any surface rust. Keeping in mind, it has all be in my heated and cooled garage with the occasional opening of the garage door. I will have to sand it all before I put on any finish paint.

Watched a few Youtubes on seam sealer and commenced with my seam sealing. While the taped joints look real neat, they were are soon to be covered with Raptor Liner. I decided to go freehand on the seam sealer in the areas under the cab, low firewall and under the fenders. Whether you can see them or not, I'll still do the majority in the cab and all of the upper firewall with taped edges. This stuff sets up really quickly. I have to remove the tape almost immediately or it leaves a small shoulder.
