I was doing a rear trunk yesterday and today, and knowing how everyone likes to see every sqaure inch of a naked teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I shot some pics of a trunk cut apart. I forgot to take pics of the old trunk cut out before welding in the new, but I figured the " plugs " were the more interesting prts anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Also note the replacemetn panels do not have the holes cut out. If you don;t care about the originality, I personally would leave them be, one less place tro trap water (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I went ahead and put these in because I wanted to find out exactly how much more time it would take to do them. Now I need one of the expensive seam seal guns to get the finish just right My cheapo 150.00 gun wouldn't get it quite perfect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Coat of selaer tomorrow and I move on to the next hole....hell hole.........

BTW does anyone know how the factory originally applied the seam sealer ? It looks like it was sprayed, but I find it hard to beleive a " standard " gun could lay it out so damn thick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

In that 356 video, I seem to remember them dipping long brushes into a vat of the stuff and then spreading/brushing it on. I've certainly taken some off that look smeared on with a finger...

I was able to match the factory finish with a Wurth gun but I wasted a lot, a lot of $35.00 a tube Wurth seam sealer just spraying it on cardboard to practice. We billed the extra seam sealer to the job, insurance paid, with a fight. I always liked fighting with them anyway.

See, I think pete-stevers was joking about coming all the way down to visit, but I really could drive the hour or so up to richmond. Where in richmond are you located?

BTW, I have some work to do that I am hesitant to try myself. Might need your services.
