I never knew you could put bondo on that thick on a car before. The driver's door on the '65 project had a major bang in it. The brilliant PO decided he didn't need to straighten it, just put a half inch of bondo on it. I started sanding and thought I'd never hit metal!
After busting off all the bondo, I got that sinking feeling seeing all the rust under the bondo boulder on the door. A little work with the orbital sander, though, and the rust came off quickly and we finally got to nice shiny metal ... If I'd had to replace the door, too, it could have been the final blow to say this project isn't worth it.
Ever get that "what the hell am I doing with this thing?" feeling on a project? I remember getting it a few times on my '66 during the rebuild, and got that feeling again today. Fortuneatly, I got enough stuff done today, to finally look back and say, yeah, we can do it. This car really is a piece of crap, and should have been scrapped ... why must I feel I have to rebuild these things? *LOL*
If you always do what you've always done,
You'll always get what you've always got
