thanks guys - hopefully by the end of thr month all of the metal will be fit. From there i will be tearing it back down, and then get the car in epoxy

Junior2561, how bad were the dents in the roof, I cant tell by the pics, & how did you fix them?.

TIA, Mike.

[Junior2561 10]

the dent in the roof looked like a tree branch might have fallen on the edge of it. You can see how the PO bondo'd it up in the first series of pictures.

 

I worked it out from the inside of the car. I will still have to use some filler, but nothiner like there was in there before.

[Junior2561 10]

Put the rear bumper on and rear valance - the valance needs a little fittment still.

 

Front End is going together and headlight buckets are fit extremely poorly. Need to look over my options.

[Junior2561 10]

Well the sheet metal is all fit, with the help from a guy at work, its dialed in to where there is one shim under the rear of the hood, and thats it! not bad for re-pop metal.

The headlight buckets are fit up better, but will still need a coat of mud to get a perfect transition.

So I marked where the doors should go and removed all the sheet metal...again....so that I could blast it with a big sand blaster.

Big day, the car is no longer all bare steel. Feels great to see it at this point.

I took the car in and sand blasted it with a big blaster, ran over the whole thing with 80grit and a DA and laid down some Dupont Corlar 824s epoxy.

The underside is going to get treated with some muck looking grey like it would have in dearborn... Nothing high dollar.

thanks.

 

I plan to paint the roof, and skeleton of the car with a brush and some POR-15 or some other heavy duty paint. I'll do it with a brush so i can slop it into cracks and crevices.

The finished interior will be the factory white deluxe, the exterior is Acapulca Blue
