I used Eastwood's seam sealer (caulk tube) in beige. Great stuff. Make sure you have some Toluene for clean-up.

 

Transtar makes great stuff in a tube too.... A VMF'r turned me onto it years ago.. Great stuff..

 

Thanks for the input on product selection and the clean up advice. I will check these two products out.


I have also been told that Fusor makes a good product that may work for what I am doing.


One of these three products will surely work.

 

I dont recall the one i used- but I have a tip or warning I guess. I removed the drip rail stainless steel trim so I could sandblast and get the channel clean. I then applied epoxy primer then sealer and used a finger to make it look all nice and pretty. I didn't realize I made it a little thick and applied too high on the drip rail side (as opposed to the roof side) When it dried I tried to test fit the drip rail chrome- (it must snap onto the upper side and then snaps into the lower side of the rail) but it wouldn't snap in (on the top side) This was a no- go. Let me say you don't want to have that happen- It took weeks of hand sanding to cut it back down (roof was blocked and almost ready for paint so I wanted to be careful) and many sore fingers.....So just be aware of that issue if you want stainless trim on there. It looks good now- but me and my body man will never forget that little "adventure" FWIW

 

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like a little will go a long way. This car has been a life lesson in patience.


Mine is in urethane high build primer right now and block sanded to 320. It has a few minor areas that need some attention then wet sand, seal, paint.


Will definitely look at the parts car out back to make sure that I have it similar or slightly less than the factory level.

 

I used 3M two part epoxy adhesive (panel bond adhesive), 08115. no shrink....
