[37coop]

I imported from west Virginia my 39 coupe 25 years ago, the banjo was in a very bad state with lots of the metal under the rim showing ,a bit of a mess, i ground all the cracks to a wedge so it could take some filler ,I used JBweld on a recommendation, I found it built up well (I did the deep filling in 2 stages) and it sanded easily with fine final sanding ,I used a light coat of acid etching primer and a coat of filler primer and after rubbing smooth 2 or 3 coats of colour and 2 or 3 coats of 2 pack lacquer (clear),my first attempt and very pleased with it ,that was about 6 years ago and I havnt used the car as I,m still working on the restoration(I don't rush things ) but no cracks have appeared and in my opinion it looks great and I am pretty fussy , good luck with yours ...Jim.
