Location: McComb, Mississippi		I pretty much have nothing to do today, I thought I would share my plans for this car. I want the car to be a dependable daily driver. The engine and transmission have been rebuilt so I do not foresee any problems there. since the back seat is in such nice shape, I am going to leave it alone. I am going to get the padding underneath the seat cover on the front seat replaced. I am going to get the front seat cover repaired using fabric from SMS. I'm going to get the headliner replaced. I'm going to paint the car the original color using acrylic enamel. I am going to use this car like it was meant to be used, as a CAR.

also waxed the dashboard today.

Location: Arizona		Not sure exactly what you mean by "padding" on the front seat but if you are talking about just some of the "Stuffing and other stuff" rather then ALL the stuffing and other soft materials I would reccommend that as long as you are going to have the seat worked on you replace ALL the stuffing, foam, whatever. That old stuff is part of what makes that stinky old car smell and it won't cost much more to get rid of it all then to just replace the top layer. ANother word of advice I would offer is tell the upholsterer that you don't want to make the seat cushion wind up thicker. The guy who did mine really stuff the foam in it and now I practically hit the ceiling.

Location: McComb, Mississippi		today was semi productive. There are only two dents on the whole car. I started trying to pop out the dent on the passenger side quarter panel using a propane torch. It pulled most of the dent out, but not all. I am awaiting further advice from group members as to what action I should take next. I do not want to glob down body filler on the car. I do understand that It may require a skim coat over the affected area. I just want the job to be as professional as possible.

Location: McComb, Mississippi		Took the back seat out for a good cleaning. I used GOOP hand cleaner to clean the vinyl. I must admit that it cleaned up really well. It softened up the vinyl a lot. The back seat looks brand new. I also found a dime from 1954 and the jack handle which looks like it was never used.

Location: bishop, ca		Pro's are not afraid to apply El Bondo.

Saw a Porch, a few decades ago, that was stripped for a re-paint; it was 'covered' by skim coats, to correct the OEM defects
in the body stampings.

Once it's painted, and unless it is a 'flaky' Bondo Sculpture, ain't nobody gonna know what lies under all that pretty color (...which
is a major concern with all those newly-'pretty'-painted cars on the 'Pay, and even on Spec-restos, at real auctions).

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Your back seat looks fantastic! This exact same upholstery was used on Canadian built 1961 Chrysler Windsors, FL member Ray Bohn has this same color in his 1961 Windsor.

A little skim coat of bondo is quite normal in body work, to repair minor imperfections and as Neil mentioned stripping original paint of a car can reveal factory applications of skim coat bondo. When it's been built up thick to cover major areas of bad body work or rust, then it becomes an issue.

Location: bishop, ca		Chris, altho the seat looks great, a commercial mobile carpet cleaning company should be able to deep clean the residual staining.

LOL...this is NOT my car's interior, but another guy's (from the 90's) CRL, where my local shop
was going to custom install new upholstery on portions of his seats and then the shop installed clear plastic
covers over the seats, to protect them.

I had his seats cleaned before they went off to the upholstery shop.

Dunno whose car this was.

Is it as good as it appears, or are you going to start saving your dollar-bills, for an Emblemagic 'perfect' one?

I am not sure about that, but if you really wanted more shine and smooth-ness, you could give a couple of clear coats and wet sand - polish that. Looks real good to me as is.......................................MO

It's metallic? Looks like normal paint from this distance... Looking at the pictures it seems to have more of a gloss appearance to the paint... http://oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Dodge/1961_Dodge/1961_Dodge_Da... not sure why I just have a feeling that it looks kinda "murky" maybe I'm just used to seeing a near mirror reflection in higher quality paint?
