Nice work Buck! Should try and find out what kind of primer is used on cars with lead filled seams.

Back when they were leading body panels, wasn’t most of the paint lacquer based?
Not sure if they treated the seams with anything before painting.

I’m hoping my cleaning with lacquer thinner then phosphoric acid treatment will surfice.
Remembered a while ago that I might has some Ford Dark Gray tractor paint that might
look okay. It’s in a quart can……. not sure I can spray it with a gun or have
to brush it on.

Prepare to be boarded!
