ya, that's standard body shop stuff. That's why I always say, if the paint is nice leave it. You don't what to know whats under it.

Everything is 20/20 from that altitude.

Just a thought - be careful with that upper trunk panel seam. It's a flex area and I've seen success and failure there on painted cars.

I'm in good hands, but thank you for the heads up. Oh and yeah...I work! lol

After everything we've seen here it shouldn't surprise me. I suppose it does because of the level of work guys here do. We actually care about our cars. lol

Very true but most are not able to afford Roadster shop, Goolsby or Ironworks style metal work. I've seen $20-25K paint jobs with rough work like this under it before.

When I was a teenager -- I worked at Gateway Body and Fender (still in business) -- sweeping floors and stacking parts and occasionally putting on some headlight trim...

We got a 55/56/57 Thunderbird in ----- there were holes in it at some point -- so the previous repair used STEEL WOOL as a backer and mudded over that... well you know that the steel wool didn't last more than a month or two in Oregon's climate... OMG...

The invention of BONDO is what allows work like this to take place...
