Hello, A couple of questions...
My 1st restoration, 1963 Valiant Convertible.
Q1) what is the 'caulk' that goes around the metal seams (see pic), and where is the best place to get it. Should it be installed before or after paint? ...the original stuff looked like tar.
Q2) I have tried to punch holes through the floor pan and it's pretty solid. My plan is to treat the metal with phosphoric acid then prime and paint w/Rustoleum. How exactly do you treat the metal w/acid? ...do you rinse it off or just leave it 'til it's dry then prime?
Thanks in advance,
Glen.
