Ready to re-condition the trunk floor of my '72 SSP project car. The little riverlets or channels in the bottom of the trunk looked like they were rusting out under the factory paint. However, when I began to sand, grind, and chip away I found shiny metal underneath. The material I removed looked like welding slag or lead filler or little ball bearing size pieces of steel all stuck together. This stuff was all inside those channels and covered with the factory original paint. The fotos I inserted here were taken after most of my clean-up efforts but perhaps someone out there knows what I am talking about. What was this stuff? (left over from the assembly plant?) I hope I did not do more damage than good by removing it. First foto is before sanding/grinding. The next three are afterward. Thank you.
