But your curing all those issues!

I will be watching this one.

And as far as soda goes, you need to chemical strip that and re gel coat it, then some quality high build PolyEster Spray filler will set you free.

HAHA. The only solid-axle Vette I've even driven was a '54 and it was more like "pointed it in a general direction."

When you say "as far as soda goes" do you mean I should avoid it and only chemical strip? I'm Captain Lee'ing the majority, but was looking to have soda do the areas I just can't do (err lazy what? what?) and get down to clean glass. I agree on the PolyEster filler - but read lots of opinions on gelcoating. Interesting.

I will probably turn the body over to a pro once I get whatever necessary inner body mods done and mock up all the major pieces. I'd like to need less than a tanker truck of PolyEster primer to get it straight.

Don't watch too often - this is a Saturday build with a lot more headscratching than progress.

Thanks for the feedback. Good stuff.
