HAY THIS IS TO ANY BODY WITH A CHEVY. HOW MUCH SEAM SEALER IS IN YOUR CAR? WE ARE RESTORING A 67 IMPALA 4 DOOR. WE STARTED TO SCRPE AND SCRAPE AND THERES NO END. I THINK THAT WE ARE UP TO ABOUT A GALLON SO FAR STILL IN PROGRESS. I THOUGHT SEAM SEALER WAS FOR SMALL CRACKS. BUT NO THERE ARE PLACES THE SIZE OF A CRATER. I WONDER HOW MUCH FORD USES (LOLLOLLOLLOL) ANY BODY WITH A FORD CHRYSLER OR GM LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH YOURS HAS.

That does not sound right to me. Where on the body are you talking about?

There is a lot. I have two 62's both made in Tarrytown, one had ton's of it, the other very little. I guess it was up to the guy with the brush on that day. There is a ton of it on the firewall seams. What are you using to scrape it out with? A heat gun? Any chemicals?

Where ever there is a welded seam in the body you will find seam sealer.The amount in a location depended on the person applying it.As the body came down the line there was a person that did nothing but brush it on.

To add to Gene's comment: The brush was attached to a pressure fed hose. The operator controlled the pressure on the hose. The more pressure the more sealer that was applied. It also depended on how fast the brush was moved across the seam.You could always tell the days that the operator was absent and an absentee replacement was on the job.

i couldnt belive it but were just using a scraper and screwdriver. i just resealed the windshield on my 1988 olds custom cruiser wagon and my son found a place that he dug out with a screwdriver and you could fit a golf ball in it. so i took some duraglass and put it over the hole and sanded it down.
