Ford1975 2 Posted January 31, 2014 Yes Stoneguard Pete.. Don't know about earlier models but it was on later FORDS And the painter will know how to blend it in or where to stop it (usually just under body lines) :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know about earlier models but it was on later FORDS And the painter will know how to blend it in or where to stop it (usually just under body lines) :thumbup: yes....... guess doing the quarters and lower front wings if blended in without lines would a better way to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfrace 109 Posted February 1, 2014 I would deffo stone guard sills and blend to the swage line on rear lower quarter as well as front valance. I couldn't tell nog's had been done when I saw it and for peace of mind you know it makes sense, the last thing you want to do is be confronted by loads of pin prick rust spots a year after driving about to shows etc. I understand you want it to be original but it's got to last too after the effort you've invested in the bodywork.
