I have a 71 Mustang coupe that I am trying to make straight without filler. I took a metal shrinking class four years ago and I feel I picked up the hammer/ dolly concept fairly well too. Unfortunately most of the small sections I have been working on were previously hit with an aggressive grinder and filled. The unlikeness in metal thickness does not allow the shrinking disc to work as well as it should so I'm limited to mostly hammer/dolly for these parts.
I've noticed a few of the veteran posters here have stated that they use epoxy instead of 2K. I was wondering if there are any potential issues with doing some build with epoxy. I planned on shooting epoxy and basically just blocking it all the way down and repeating. I don't have an issue with using 2k it just seems logical to have the foundation as close to straight as possible. This is going to take years for me to get right so extra curing time or extra effort is not an issue. I'm not concerned with "wasting" some product either. I'm not the least bit concerned with sanding off a couple hundred dollars of product if need be to get this right as this is the only car I will ever build for myself and I will never sell it.
So what are your thoughts?
