Spent the last 2 weekends tackling some body work on my daughter's 98 GT. Previous owner in Colorado didn't keep the car very clean, so anyplace dirt could gather, there was rust. Ordered 2 cans of ready to spray color matched paint from automotivetouchups.com and 2 cans of 2k clear. While I was at it I decided to move the antenna hole from lower on the fender to the top. The power antenna broke several months ago and I felt a more modern stubby antenna would look better. I welded the antenna hole, but ran into problems blowing out the surrounding metal because I couldn't get the voltage low enough on my Mig welder and didn't have any thick copper to put behind to diffuse the excess heat. Rust hole was cut out and a fiberglass and metal mesh combination was put on the inside and fiberglass body filler was used on top. Primer was starting to show through on the center portion of the hood so I sanded that down and painted it at the same time.
The plan was to also paint the roof as it's down to primer also, but I ran out of supplies. I'll have to order some later this spring and finish it then.
