There is a lot of satisfaction in doing it yourself and what you have done looks first class:bigthumb
nice paint matt to bad you have to change it to black lol.
I have the glass sunroof from the pile. You can have it. I will take it out before it goes to the scrap yard.

Matt, glad to see you are back at it. Good luck, maybe I'll get some free time and stop down to help out. Better have beer in the fridge this time!
You need a "Big Johnson" to fill a lot of holes. ;)
I got a pile of metal left over I got from our boy Rob. I'll bring it up one day. :)
You have done one hell of a job so far, can't wait to see it in paint. :bigthumb
Got my fenders looking pretty good today.
I cut about 5lbs. worth of metal out of both front fenders to lighten them up as much as possible. Check it out...

after sanding down all the body filler till the fenders are most of the way straight I started applying the primer. I only got the back sides done tonight. Hopefully get the fronts done tomorrow.

Ok enough of this body work crap LOL spray that bitch and get down to the major stuff;) Bradenton will be here sooner than ya think guy.
I knooow. Its killing me, I want to get to bolting stuff on.
I ended up at St. Luke Hospital after posting those last pics list night untill 2am.
At some point yesterday I got a small piece of metal lodged in my eye. It didnt hurt real bad till later in the evening. I was trying my best to suck it up and be a man as I sprayed primer last night, painting with one eye almost shut and tearing up the whole time. Yea it sucked, especially when the Doc was grinding my eyeball with a little dremel tool. :tard:
You know, they make safety glasses for that sort of thing!!!!!!!!! I have extras if ya need a pair.
crazy thing is, I always wear safety glasses. I must have rubbed my eyes and got it in there or something. It was a tiny little guy.
I think when I got mine, it was from drilling overhead to hang some shades and some of the shavings got in my hair then into my eye when I got a shower at home that night. It sucks either way.
Block sanding on the roof some...
