Got the car into the shop this morning. Got a call around 4:30pm after they put the wheel to it in a few suspect spots and typical rust areas on these cars. Rear quarters had a ton of brass repair work in them...very bizarre stuff. Roof and trunk were all good with no filler to speak of. The strangest things were on the doors, hood, front fenders, and quarters. It was almost like the last body man was too lazy too align everything. The filler was on the panels and got progressively thicker, the lower you went down the car...on every panel. There was no evidence of damage on the insides of the panels that you could see or feel. When the wheel was put to it, the metal underneath the filler was straight and rust free. The hood was the same...no damage on the underside but about 3/16" thick filler skim coat on the whole hood. It goes tomorrow for media blast to get the rest of the car stripped. I guess we will then see what else is there.
