408 badging would be cool. But the above is my plan of attack. W2head 408 stroker with fenderwell headers in my 66 Barracuda with 273 badging and old school air cleaner with 273 decal.

Thanks guys! Went back over it per instructions and its gone. Thanks a bunch.

I don't know what a guide coat is but I'll Google it. Body is definitely the hardest thing on a car to do and have it turn out well. Because I'm new to it I'm enjoying the challenge, not frustrated yet but doubt I could have done it when I was younger. Definitely an art to it.

Yeah I get that but what I'm asking is why does being not straight or height differences cause the light to dark boundary? Is it simply the polarization difference of photons at different angles? Not that it makes much difference I guess, just interesting. I appreciate the advice and will...

OK I'll try that. But why would a height difference make it possible to see through the paint and primers? Very interesting to me. BTW I was certain to sand parallel to the seam. No one told me to do it that way but it just seemed like the best thing to do, guess from many years of woodworking.

How bout this.

I'll get a better pic tonight eastern time. Again the transition is very smooth can not even tell a patch was put in. Good info about the filler and glaze. I'll check both and post up what they are. This is the first time for any body work for me. Thanks guys.

That's the thing. I've been on this for over a week making certain each coat of everything dried. To top it off I did exactly that yesterday. Wet sanded and put two more coats on. It's looking like something I'm going to have to live with. When my 408 ever gets done there will be a lot of...

I couldn't see it at all after primer coats. Then put primer Sealer. Never saw it until painting. No I never went back to metal. Absolutely can not feel the seam it is smooth as glass.

Maybe this will help.

It won't show up in the picture. But its about 2" below the step out. I have no idea what the correct term is.

OK experts or novice what the heck is wrong? I put a patch panel in the rear quarter it fit great. Order of operations, 1. Epoxy primer 2. Filler 3. Glaze 4. Primer 5. Primer Sealer 6. Paint/ wet sand Turned out very smooth but the dang ghost line will not disappear. Just live with it?

Dang that's nice work. Thanks for posting.

I see they got you straight. I never noticed they were different. I forgot to measure mine when I got home. The stripes on my 66 are like cosig's.

If its the same as on a 66 I can measure later this afternoon and let you know.

It's very close to .020". Can't give an exact measurement cause the bat died in the only pair of calipers I have. But its a little thicker than my rifle brass which is .018.

Yeah, that's exactly why I did. Got bored and didn't want to get into anything too involved now look what I got myself into.

Awesome thanks.

Got to poking around the bottom of my quarter panel and when I was done there were large holes everywhere. So I cut it all out and got my hands on some sheet metal almost as thick as the sheet metal on the car. Spent about three hours cutting and bending until the fit was pretty decent...

Good thinking. I just hacked my quarter panel out this weekend. I decided to panel bond some thick flashing in. First time ever trying something like this.

Thanks guys classic industries shows one.

Thanks all their website is showing for a 66 cuda is a hood and trunk. Good site though.

Any one know of a company selling patch panels for a 66 Barracuda? Need right rear quater. The bottom is rusted badly.
