I'm doing some touch-up work on Albert to strip & repair some areas where the bondo that was used by some previous owner has cracked & is starting to rust underneath. On the previous work, they had filled in some of the body seam with bondo, but of course the flex of the two panels cracks the bondo & allows water in. I am planning on just priming and painting the seam. Is there a better way of handling the seams to keep it from rusting as long as possible? Anti-rust compounds? Special seam sealer/filler? Moving to Arizona?? -- Brett in Portland, OR "Albert" '82 VanaFox I4 Riviera |
