Are there any 1961-62 GM station wagons in the yard? I need some trim that is common across Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick wagons. thanks Paul

send me a picture of what you need and I'll check. there are a number of wagons in the 60s there.
so today it's try to finish up on the patch. first, we drill a few holes then make them bigger with the spot weld cuter. we'll back fill them with brass. keeping from melting the aluminon or catching the fiberglass on fire are the big things then holding the patch tight on the free edge in the front drip rail the other. there is a hole through the drip rail into the door jamb right across from the end of the hold down rail, on one side and the free end of the over lay on the other. lucky it a heavy rail. only sealed the end of the roof once. started with the filler but run out of time to finish it. we got company for supper

got a chance to work off the filler today and get a little primer on so I could see what we need. getting to the point where I need a lot of contrast to see any more. but it worked we got most of the problems out just one more high spot to cut down. think I'll use the I80 and save the 80 grit scratches. did get about 3/4 of the rear striped.
will we had a Monday around here. but we did play enough to fit the patch finished and most of the rear jam cleaned up. that pallor is hard to get all the ins and outs with the top in the way a number of deep cavities to get into and carve out. but I'm happy with it now. lets see it the other on is easier now that we know better.
we did the important thing today. we put the seam sealer on. you prime the spot then seal it. after you get the sealer on you use one of those cheap brushes you buy a box of now and then and a little water to paint the sealer into the crevasses the I idea is to just get it were its need not to fill the trough with it. remember what I was blowing out of the front drip rail. you paint in into the gaps and clean the excess off. we do it now, so it has plenty of time to set up before we paint. finished the back Jam and tunnel light straightened up the bent gutter on the left, that bugged me from day one. then got the smaller patch on the left in place. had some trouble getting the smaller patch slid under the body. had to slide it in sideways. getting the upper corner without melting the top took two paper towels and the spray bottle we did melt the vary edge a little. man, that stuff stinks. 
got finished up brazing the patch in and filling holes I made. they slobbered a little mud on things. funny how many tools you haul out to do something, one at a time till half the tool box is laying back here
Will if you don't hit post, it doesn't get on there. but worked the Blood drive today checking people in did get the chance to finish up on the patch.
the paint cane in for the roof one the silver 72. I would like to get it done before the snow flies it down to rust on the top. never heard of it We'll see if it works.
