Does this drip rail look normal with the dents or it was not fixed correctly.

Thanks

Some put more seam sealer or filler in there to hide the pinch welds but it looks normal as far as how the panels are conected. It might show the weld dimples a bit more than "normal" not sure though.

I'm no mopologist.
 
Looks like they forgot the flexable seam sealer. May also be called self leveling seam sealer or some thing like that. May rust out there with out it.

Thats just how they are built. Spot welds is what yu are seeing. The trunk looks like it just needs some rubber wetherstriping. Must have forgot to put that on too.
 
Normal, whoever re-painted it just never put the seam sealer back in (At least they took it to bare metal there, they like rusting under that stuff!)
 
I agree... that's what it is supposed to look like under the seam sealer..it's a little too late now. You'll need a trunk weatherstrip or that trunk will get soaked next rain or wash! Looks like a nice shiney '68 Spiro!
 
paint

anyway to repair without spraying the whole roof?
 
Don't sweat it man, most people won't notice it ( I know the whole thing I know its there so it bugs the tar out of me thing! lol) Paint looks really nice so leave er' be!!!
