Happy New Year guys………….
Been working these last few weeks, on and off, to get my ’65 Coupe bodywork stripped and ready for paint. The engine has been out for some time. I’ve stripped the engine bay of just about everything except the brake cylinder and the steering. All the exterior trim has been removed, lights, indicators, badges, bumpers, mirrors etc. The trunk has been cleaned out completely.
My current plan is not is not to replace any fender badges or the fender aerial. What is the best method to fill both the small fender badge holes and the larger (approx. 1 inch diameter) aerial hole. I'm thinking welding, certainly for the aerial hole but can this be done without distortion of the fender? I would have to get somebody to weld it as I know nothing about welding.
