After getting back from Bowling Green Im freshly motivated to get my car off the jackstands. I stopped by the garage on my way home tonight and beat on a fender for a while. heres a few pics....

Heres the body all in primer...how exciting!!!

Heres the pass. side fender sanded down to bare metal with 80 grit on a DA sander. Notice all the dings circled...

You can barely see it in this pic, but here is a huge ding (from a jack handle lol)
right in the middle of the main body line on the fender...

sanding the back side of the fender...

more tomorrow!
