Started a new project, a '69 Cutlass convertable. I'm just doing the bodywork and paint for a friend of mine. He had quater skins replaced by welding shop about 15 years ago and then just used filler to level it out. It sat in a storage shed ever since so I've stipped the panels of all old filler and primer down to bare metal. The shop just overlapped the panels by about 3-4 inches and welded them on. A lot of filled had been added to try and smooth it out.
I'm wondering it it's worth slicing though the two layers and butt welding the new and original panels or if that will just make a bigger mess out of it. The alternative is to just trowel on filler and do the best I can to get the contours right.
Anyone try this before?
