I had to rebuild the drip rails on my '74 Econoline. I can say without out a doubt that the All Metal was the best choice. I cut, built and welded new rails all the way down the side. Smoothed it with All Metal before adding the seam sealer. I think its just as strong as it was back in 1974. Great tip about thinning out the "Bondo" I'll definitely be giving it a try. Thanks again for another great video!

Good advise on the epd primer years back I was short on time scuffed prepped and painted over the epd primer seemed fine, but after a few years tiny rust bubbles never left epd on after that.

Just remember guys, don’t mix any of this on cardboard, it will decrease the working time by a lot as the cardboard will absorb the filler

great review of body fillers Jon. That vert looks awesome on all 4's. I will message you about the tilt column. I could use it.

Absolutely enjoy your channel, John! I found it recently as I searched looking for tips on finding an old first gen firebird. I owned a '77 Trans Am in my high school days but had a friend who had a '68 bird and always wanted one. Do you have any tips on how to find a 1967-1969 model that would require alot of work, like the ones you start out with?

[charlieseidelmann]

Jon, great video! So how do you feel about using All Metal in the seam between the roof panel and the sail panel of the quarter. It seems like it might be about 1/8-3/16” deep. Considered welding a strip of sheetmetal over the gap which is about 1.25” wide, but still up in the air about it. Thoughts? I know you do a lot of convertible work, so have you ever filled the gap on a coupe?

Hi Jon, great info! I have a 67 Camaro and have to remove back glass to reveal water damage(getting water in trunk) The under side of filler panel has some holes. I can't afford to cut out window channels and weld/paint right now- how would you try and repair damage in channel. I have some Eastwood rust encapsulator I was going to use for now.

Hey bud, bit of an off question you wouldn’t happen to have any 67 wing windows laying around would you? I don’t need them I just need measurements. And I can’t seem to find them any where. I wasn’t gonna ask but it was my last resort I know your busy with a different project

[smvrfansare]

Hey Jon I might be interested in that tilt column. That should fit my 70 Nova. Please Email me some pics and details.
Thanks, Mark

Jon, let me know if that steering column is still available. I've been looking for one for my 69 Camaro.

Curious and sorry if you did say but what brand is your door here. I have a right door as mine was caved. Curious as I have seen one that needed to be ccut and welded to fit in depthwise.
