getting waves out

Postby 62 short step on Thu Jun 11, 2009 6:02 pm

Here are some pics. Whats the best way to smooth out the ripples? Hammer & dolly are just a skim coat of filler? I hope the are showing what I'm talking about.

I can see what you are talking about. If you can get to the back of the panel, use a hammer and dolly. If you cant, skim it and block it out. The Cuda I did was like that, only worse. They blasted it with a commercial blaster and warped every panel alot more than that. :twisted:

If you want, just bring it over to the shop and I can help you fix it.

Yeah, i'm going to do it myself. Will not be a show job by any means but it needs some paint. I'm thinking the two tones like they did in 60-61. Mariner blue on top and white on the bottom. Somthing like this pic. But the blue will be a little darker than the one in the pic. I like the white at the bottom because if the body work is not the best it will not be as noticable!! :lol:
