[Spridgets] De-seaming.

[rrivenbark@cfl.rr.com]

A friend of mine "de-seamed" his 77 B and I like how it looks.  IIRC the seams were ground off and then the area was welded.  Not sure about structural integrity as he hasn't been hit (yet).  I will probably do it to my TEA when it comes time to replace/repair the rear wings.

I can send pics of his car if you want to see how it looks on a metallic midnight blue car.

Let me clarify my intent..
"I" think it would look better, but I'd like to know the lister's opinions...

Also, I'm guessing that welding, thus producing the seam, was chosen beacuase it was cheaper in materials and labor than 'leading' (as in filling the seam gap with lead!)

"Would it make my SWA '65 look better?"

I love these questions.

Not to me,
