WOW

Well, we tented the garage and sprayed some color it's afternoon. Came out pretty nice. There is a little over spray and some light orange peel, but nothing we can't wet sand out.

One step back, then three ahead...

Well, I really noticed some "cellulite" on each side from the filler, so we sanded down both the quarters. We then put in some more filler and spent the beginning of the weekend block sanding. This morning it got a few more layers of primer. We all spent the afternoon wet sanding (even the kids got into it). It is so much smoother now. Ready to build the booth in the garage and get painting.

More exhaust work

I got the rear sections of the exhaust mounted today. I found a few problems with interference with one of the headers. It looks like the best option will be to convert to manual steering. I have to replace some of the linkage anyways, so it isn't such a big deal.

PRETTY!!!

Paint came in today, so I had to go spray something. Here is the ash tray painted with the final color for the car, Eastwood Jaded Green Metallic. It is perfect, it is almost black in the shade and pops flashy green in the sun,

Exhaust work.

Started hanging the exhaust today. We got the muffler hangers mounted before getting rained out. Maybe back to it tomorrow afternoon.

Zombie door

Spent the day resurrecting the driver side door from the dead. I got almost all of the rot removed.

Driver side door work

I got started on the mess of  driver side door. I got the front panel patched and welded. I then got started on the back side. I will probably need about 5 individual patches for the bottom.
