No pic's just yet but on Sunday I finally got around to working on her. Sanded the hoodand roof for primer then decided to take on a longstadning need - chip outthe fractured sealant in the rain gutters. I use my trusty heat gun and a sharpened, cheap Chinese screwdriver and that stuff came out fairly easily. Very, very minor rusting in two places, basically where finger tips over the years gribbed the gutter from driver and passenger. (I wonder if there is a correlation? Skin oil + 50 years exposure = sealant breakdown?) Anyway, I MAY have to do some very minor repair or I may be able to get by with applying some KBS RUst stuff to it. Pic's later.
