Moving forward with my Brookville 32 roadster Couple questions what are you doing with the welds in the door jams and trunk jam. Are you just smoothing out a little or ? Also the br*** door hinges are pretty rough on the exposed edge. Are they left like this or ground smooth ?
I prepped/primed one of these a few months ago. I spent hours smoothing burrs and weld flash. Sharp edges on every panel! I was not impressed. Also found some metal distortion at the top of the 1/4s and the panel above the deck lid.
Level -1 - run it as-is, let it rust Level 0 - run it as-is, use Gibbs or scuff to keep it fresh Level 1 - wipe it down with no work, prime and paint Level 2 - scuff the outside, prime and paint Level 3 - file/sand all edges, scuff and shoot Level 4 - file/sand, metalwork bad waves, scuff and shoot Level 5 - full metalwork body, fit all bolt-ons, prime, scuff, shoot Level 6 - full metalwork and fit, block out body, prime, block more, shoot. Level 7 - fully work to best possible fit and straightness, prime and block until it has no imperfections, paint exterior, cut and buff, shoot and seal interior. Look at @NealinCA 's or @anothercarguy 's projects for the higher end levels of prep. The end result always reflects the effort put in. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...k-swapmeet-body-the-old-chrome-coupe.1284710/ https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...938-ford-club-cabriolet-build-thread.1214234/
