I noticed an interesting condition on both fenders.� While sand-blasting with a small handheld blaster, and hitting what appeared to be flaking paint in the corner of fender bracket,� I came across what appeared to be very think primer.
Is it possible that the factory dipped the fenders in primer,� the rear of fender facing up,� and the result was a puddle in this location?
Both of Hoover's fenders have this.� �If the primer "chunks" are removed, there is bare metal under them.
FYI,� the order of coatings on this '3A in every instance is -> 1) red primer,� 2) tan,� 3) forest green, 4) white.
Anyone else ever see this?
