    Body Weld Seams

    Looking for some advise on filling the weld seams on my '65 fastback by myself.  I have no experience with body solder nor, do I know anybody that does.  Can I clean the seams to bare metal and use Everglass to fill the seams and then top-coat with Rage Ultra?  I'm not much of a body man either, but filler looks a lot easier to work with than solder.  Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Sure, this is actually exactly what Everglass is designed for.  Just make sure the metal is perfectly clean, and fill a little lower than final height.  You don't want risk exposing the fibers, etc. in the Everglass at a height where it could be bare in the primer.  A skim coat of filler that fully covers the Everglass is what you want.
