Hi all, I was wondering what you guys can tell me about body work on an
Amphicar. My 66 looks in good shape but it does need a new battery tray
panel to replace the old fiberglass repair. Also at some point it was
painted and I can see evidence of bondo, it was a sloppy job. Nothing
was removed from the car and was very porly masked. So who kno's what
I'll find when I start sanding. I don't plan on doing anything more
then the battery tray and if that fiberglass holds water it will wait
for winter. I'm just wondering what kind of fillers were used from the
factory. What processes have worked for you experts. Body work is not
something I want to tackle on my own. With luck I'll be test floating
it by the end of the month. If the ice would just melt! Yes, everything
is still bilging frozen up here. My lake still has a foot and a half of
ice on it. Last year I launched my boat on the 5th. Just my luck. Buy
an Amphicar and the ice age hits Alaska. At least we're up to 17hrs of
day light now.
