Default Re: My new 1968 Nova L79 project.

Well I started with the bad side first. This was the side I got a run/sag down the sail panel. So everyone I talked with said to use a razor blade and scrape the sag flat. Boy I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. So I went to U tube and spent a couple of hours looking at videos on how to remove a run or sag in the clear coat. What I ended up doing was taking some glazing putty and put a thin coat on each side of the run. This gave me enough area to sand the top of the sag or run flat. I started with 600 until all the glazing putty was gone. Then I went to 1000 then to 1500 and finished with 2000. I can’t even tell I had a run in the sail panel. It worked real well. My auto body supply store never even heard of this before. I actually showed them it on u tube and they were shocked someone was putting glazing putty on fresh clear. The internet is such an important tool we have!
This is the video that I watched and thought I would share with everyone. I blocked my sag out, I didn’t use a DA.

I still have to color sand the driver’s side rocker and lower part of the quarter. But over all I am very very happy with the end results.
