Re: 55 Wagon Progress

More progress on the wagon, we are adding a second interior light, so an original was sourced so they would match...









.....and media blasted, ready for primer..









Gary dropped off the rear seat so we could match drill holes into the side bolsters and install 5/16 rivet nuts for attachment..














And we found another low spot in the roof, likely due to media blasting the light bracket too close to the roof skin. We used the rare earth magnet trick to accurately locate the inside to outside for exact alignment of the hammer to the donut dolly..









outside, where we used the donut dolly to hammer into...














....and the inside, where we use the crowned hammer.....














Using this method we were able to locate, layout, and bump all of the low spots to a consistent crown to match the surrounding panel, all in less than 5 minutes. In this case, a much better option than mixing and sanding filler.




This video better shows the concept..
