[QUOTE="John French, post: 108168, member: 3425"] The tank on my Rapide, a real Bondo queen botch job, finally had enough leaks develop that I had to address the issue. I had my local repair expert Don Roe strip all the old paint and bondo and repair the previously poorly repaired rear mount as well a couple of leaky seams. While he was at it he pulled out all the dents using a stud welder, it only took about 70 studs to get it back to a fairly un-dented state. He finished the prep work with a coat or three of some modern two part primer surfacer. Then I shipped the tank to Marion (Bones) Cooper in Knoxville Tn where the magic application was carried onward, a couple of months later here's what he sent back...[ATTACH type="full"]27470[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]27472[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]27473[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
