Cool Update 8/17

This body work is hard work ... but I just pick a piece and get at it. So far the hood, driver fender and lower extension, header, lower valance, and wiper cowl is flat and sanded down with 400 grit ... just need to spray a coat of epoxy on the bare spots and get some Raptor liner on the underside of the fender and Speedtech inner wheel wells.

Pulled the passenger side fender and got it prepped for epoxy. This fender has some rough spots that will require some hammer and dolly work and I'll need to close up the OEM antenna hole ... wish me luck,

Here's some car porn ....


Ths staging area, lol!

This lower patch I bonded in and it's pretty close ...





Sure is nice to work with clean metal ...



I'd get more done if it wasn't so dang hot during the day ... spraying epoxy after dark when it finally cools down.

Thanks for looking ...

Default Mo Better now!

Thanks guys ... I was working with the shrinking disc and some hammer and dolly work to get this fender straight. Seems it had some previous work done ... with a 2X4

Instead of spraying epoxy and sanding it all off, I figured I'd take a page from an Eastwood video and use the Sharpie as a guide coat which worked out really well. After three rounds of disc work and sanding it is mo better, the camera angle doesn't do it justice ... take a look!





Did some touch up work on the back side too ...




Mo Better!!!


I'll continue this tomorrow, thanks for looking ....

Cool Update 8/21

Wow, think I'll stick a fork in it ... I would guess I have WAYTOO many hours into these fenders but I know they are dun right

I am getting the hang of the shrinking disc and it's kinda of like therapy ... and it works great, don't start hammering get the disc out and work the metal back to shape!!!!

The only low spots are where the metal is doubled so I'm ok with that, take a look ....









Not too bad for 53 year old fender, going to get some epoxy on the fender and the bare spots on the other parts this weekend, it's going to be hot ...





Thanks for looking ....
