    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    Air inhibits the non-waxed surface of laminating resin from curing. Even after the subsurface has cured. The next layer will chemically bond to it as one. The sticky surface of non-waxed laminating resin can't be sanded. It will clog the paper, even 24 grit. Waxed finishing resin has a wax in it...

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    That's why we use laminating resin not finishing resin for the buildup and let it set between layers. The next layer bonds to it as one layer. Then finishing resin with no glass for the last smooth cover.

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    On old cars like this, I've been covering the whole top with fiberglass cloth because it makes a good solid consistent structural base. And it's easy to prep to refinish with paint. Use non-waxed laminating resin. Then after that cures go over the tacky surface with a smooth coat of waxed...

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    Good option. Except the Bondo will be subject to moister after the solder job and the fiberglass and resin after the solder job would not.

Worked good, but sold the car two years later and don't know the...

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    RUST-OLEUM RUST DISSOLVER gel will eliminate all the rust. It will also discolor the paint if it sits on the paint for more than 20 minuets. But it doesn't attack the metal at all from what I can tell from using it. Cover the holes from the inside "really good" with metal tape, or whatever...

    Holy Roof Rust, Batman!

    If you're not going to go cutting and welding, then it's going to be fiberglass. With epoxy resin preferred, polyester will do. All the trim must come off. There's a tool for that, works good to. Remove head liner, seats and carpet. Cover dash. Metal tape holes from inside cabin, truck and...

    New c body trunk floor manufacturer?

    I don't know what every person intends to do with their car. But, I have a dozen 60s and 70s cars that I will never restore. They get a proper renovation so I can use them. I like driving old cars. So, if there is a resemblance of the old pan left, trunk or passenger, I grind it reasonably...
