Make sure you don't get any goop on the wires or grommet put in at AO

Hi
Seeing it is a 1969 SJ I can offer this.



I got the runs and the "blob" as close as I could on the restoration.  (50% of the pass wasn't on holes or bolts)

Appreciate all the replies. 

I have enough pic's now to duplicate the sealer and application.

Sure hate to spray sealer over the new paint (It looks so good!) but I want the car to be as original as I can get it within reason. So on it goes!
I always hear that this car or that car, is over restored.  I get it now. After all the work you put into making the car look nice, It's very hard to intentionally use the old Ford assembly line techniques with the sealers and such and opt for a clean fresh look.

Thanks,

Brett

Just to clarify so less confusion this is a SJ Mach . Tim is referring correctly if on a Shelby car the wires and grommets installed at AO Smith would be after the sound deadner and so you wouldn't want spray on those Shelby items in that case.

Oh I've had many owners ask me to spray the stuff on their cars for that very reason but on the other hand they knew it needed to be done to look real. Its allot easier after you have done this to a few dozen or more. And the later cars (69-up) are the worst since they used a different product and it often was applied allot heavier
