Location: bishop, ca		Morgan, et al, here's another Neil'sNeat restoration tricks:

When you have a very nice condition, but somewhat marred-up trunk panel, you can remove one of the side
panels (or liberate a small section from it) and take it to your local paint store.

They can custom mix-up some FLAT latex interior paint which will be a perfect match to your color, and then you can
brush-on that color, or 'daub' it on; brush-strokes should not be a problem with the latex paint, but, just re-cover the
entire trunk panel, and; VOILA! Instant (sort of) brand-new(looking) trunk panels.

Been there; done that.

This protocol also works with torn trunk liners, where you can repair the tears with Elmers-glue, with the torn areas being vise-gripped-together.

Once the tear-area is glued together, additional coats of the (water-base) glue can be 'floated' over it, and finish-sanded,until the fracture site is smooth as a baby's behind.

Then, the panel(s) get to be latex-painted....

Perfecto.

Thank you very much for posting so many pictures about this wonderful red De Soto. I appreciate the close look pictures of the doors most (Posted 2009-12-09 3:49 AM (#200210 - in reply to #195220) Subject: Re: Binder Collection!) because I could study the door weatherstrips. I think these (if sold per feet) would fit around the doors of my 56 NY either. But that's another story...
The De Soto looks very good
Happy motoring!
Dieter

Or, do you really mean 'it' ?
