Am I crazy for doing this on a 65 Barracuda ?

Got out this morning and spot puttied the repaired areas and respotted the entire quarter . Dry sanded with 220 paper just lightly pressing . Felt a few spots and spooted and sanded them in. Quarter feels very smooth and can feel nothing that needs attention. Took a razor knife and got my molding line looking good. ( see pic ) This shouldn't fill with paint but easy to clean out if it does. Have car partially masked before the sun sets on it for a couple hours. Made sure masking tape rolled the edge of moulding now.


I'm only going partially into the trunk area at this time. I will do this quarter, then the other and then remove trunk lid and do it and the center area of car. I'm not doing anything as far as removing the weatherstrip but am going up to it when doing the quarters. I will probably replace it but if it's keeping the water out , good enough for now . Around this area in the trunk the factory let lead drip down in a few places . I'm not too concerned about getting this area smooth but in bottom corner lead was allowing water to pool. While it didn't seem to hurt the area I don't want it holding water as that will/has effected the lid. I didn't want to bondo or fill that little area in with spot putty, so I just filled it in with a little Dynaflex230 caulking.





In the gas cap cavity the seal around the fillier tube was shedding . I removed the 3 screws , sanded this area and with a little spot putty on my finger I went around it then sanded it. Made sure the outer lip is smooth . Some paint on that seal should be helpful in keeping it from shedding. Sinse the screws are out I'll push em in a piece of cardboard and shoot the heads with what I have laying aound here. I've been using Krylon Dual primer/paint Hammered steel I believe is the finish. Lots of different stuff will work and if you have the screws out might as well .
