You've sure run into some interesting stuff with your Brookville.

My 31 Brookville roadster doors are pretty solid.
I went out to look at them and they have tack welds from folded over skin to interior panel at the upper left and right.
No movement detected and they are nice and solid when shutting them.


I reember that you sanded most of your paint off.

A while back I was pinstriping the trunk lid - the body is still in factory primer - and the wind blew a paint laden magazine page onto the trunk lid.
I got it off and a few days later when I moved the 1000# scale back I saw where the errant page had slapped white paint onto the area below trunk lid between the taillights.

The white paint - One Shot - came off ok with lacquer thinner, but the thinner didn't seem to phase the primer.

If I remember right didn't the primer in sander-inaccessible areas on your car come right off with lacquer thinner and a rag?
