Once the metal finish work is done will you re-skim the whole car?

What you are looking at is the panel half stripped.
So it looks like your seeing lots of high spots but, your just seeing were we went threw to the the metal before the whole panel was finished being stripped.
No, we will not need to skim-coat the whole car after the metal work is completed

If any car needed saving it's Tony's ... lol
It is nice to see how lots of people have come together to help a member out with his misfortune, I wish there was such a group up here in Canada.

OK I see, thanks.. The car looks great all stripped down in bare steel.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you guys will correct any issues with the sheet metal and how and where you will apply body filler.

Funny you should say that.
Actually, "IF", and that's an if, all goes through and my car sells and I purchase the '69 Camaro SS that I am checking out, Pete and his crew will be doing some work for me as well.
Keep up the great work Competition Specialties!!!
