1970 Swinger Build Thread (PURISTS BEWARE)
Got some more progress done with stripping the car to the shell. Some of this previous body work really bugs the crap out of me. I did autobody repair for 2 years and although its not a lifetime like some people, it was enough time to learn how to do a quality job.
Overlapping and pop riveting panels toether is NOT a quality repair as we can see here...
There is clearly some damage in the passenger rear corner that was never repaired. They had just riveted in a 2" wide strip of aluminum flashing to get the quarter skin to line up!!! Unreal...
I have been using a grinder and wire wheel to strip the paint. I also discovered that some point during its life it had been painted a terrible color of yellow.
