1965 Chevelle Body Filler Stage - V8TV

http://www.v8tvshow.com - After all the panels were aligned and all the dents pulled, our 1965 Chvelle moved into the body filler stage. Our body technition John started the process by grinding the steel panels to achieve a mechanical bond as well as a chemical bond, then began mixing and applying the Marson Mar-Glass fiberglass filler to the structural areas and seams, followed by a coat of Marson Platinum Plus filler over the rest of the car. Although the filler was applied over large areas, John sanded most of it off in a process that refined the shape of the car, straightening minor waves and surface imperfections. The filler was followed up by a new 3M glaze applied by a new 3M Dynamic Mixing System applicator gun. The glaze filles remaining surface scratches and pinholes, and the gun applicator does all the mixing for you, ensuring quick, accuratly mixed glaze (and filler) with no pinholes and reduced waste. The entire car then went through a block sanding process. The next step: Standox Sprayable Polyster.

why the need for glazing putty,maybe that body filler is not the best to use

[V8TV]

@ragytagful Sometimes a small air bubble in the filler can leave a pinhole here and there, hence the glaze. We then apply a sprayable polyester to further refine the surface, but we find this filler to be good stuff.

i thought the body fill was supposed to be put on length wise,lots of ridges they way they showed

[V8TV]

@ragytagful You'll have ridges with a vertical or horizontal application, but they all are sanded off. None were left on the car.

[MrZiggy1979]

[aboomanation]

That's a great tip with using the tape to mask a body line and spray on guide coat. Good video:)

Howdy from Australia Guys, Thanks for taking the time to share some of your techniques with us. I was wondering about the tools being used. Are they single or dual action and does it make any difference to the result.

Cheers

I agree with racekidishere, these fellas are the business. They amaze me. All t5hat stuff about polyester coats sharpening up the swage lines, little known stuff outside classic car circles I'd suggest.
