Seam sealer for dummies

[68Moparmaniac]

Getting in the swing of seam sealing the Charger. I know for sure that I wouldn't want to have had that job on the production line, had do be one of those jobs the new union boys got thrown into. There are so many areas for these things to leak it's incredible these cars are still around today.
After folding up my 6'2" frame into the trunk of the Charger (no small feat being 60) to start getting the seam sealed. I'm still amazed at the size of these trunks, almost fit a coke machine in these caves. I'm using the Eastwood high solids seam sealer tube and strips. Anybody use this stuff before? I'm liking the strips, able to really pack it into the seams and looks clean, not like some of the crap I dug out of the car from the factory, I think they used a mop to apply sealer..

There is also something called Tiger Seal...Tiger something..... I have used before that works very well too. Takes a couple days to semi harden and looks original....minus the factory paint brush!

My 63 year old painter in the trunk of my car seam sealing. We'd only have got two of him into the DriveIn... not the 4 soles we usually did back when!! lol

He's a good looking 64 year old. Same age as my body man, and he's young looking also??
I used Sem's and 3-m on my Charger. My guy preferred the sems. Flowed better for him.
Don't really have the Eastwood option up her in the Great White North.

I chipped out most of the seam sealer from the main cabin recently and put it all in a bucket as I went. Couldn’t believe how much of the stuff they used. Wish I had taken a picture but it weighed between 4 and 5 lbs by the time I was done.

Hey dadsbee, who's the painter ? I have Keith Simm doing the sheet metal but need a good body and paint guy.
