Hey Guys,
I have my 66 Metuchen convertible on the rotisserie and getting the body ready for paint.
After removing my windshield and cleaning 45 years of crap off the frame around the windshield, it appears to have ZERO red oxide
primer on the windshield enclosure. There is a a distinct tape-line and it appears to have been primed with a grayish epoxy
that is VVVVERY durable and hard. Has anyone seen this?
Also, I read that Maple Hill Resto primed the rear crossbrace on the teal convertible they are doing, this same color of gray I am seeing around the windshield.
I'm thinking this was the way my 66 came too? My undercarriage was definitely red-ox from the factory.
ANOTHER PRIMER QUESTION.
The steel on the interior, behind the rear seat and the upper halves of the interior quarters facing the rear seat back (where the window handles and quarter trim go)
have a very very dark brown primer. Maple Hill Resto has done the last 2 convertibles the same way. Does anyone have an idea why a darker primer was used here
instead of the same stuff as on the belly of the car?
