Car is 90% seam sealed. I was waiting on doing the rear section until after two last things were finished up in the rear. This is one of the two things needed done. Sadly there is a few projects going on with the car that it has been strongly recommended to me that I not post online at this point:unibrow: . Now that they are both done the bare metal will be epoxied and seam sealed then its ready for paint.

Nice work, just went through the 20 pages, great ideas and attention to detail,

Looking good!

Got lots of stuff done over the past few weeks with the little bit of time I've had to work on the car. First we got the watts link bracket and fuel cell cage masked off and painted.

Then after about a week we masked off the freshly painted parts to seal the bottom of the car.

Quick question, how did you get the metal to submit to that shape?

Thanks guys.

I just worked it with a ball peen hammer then a body hammer to get all the dents out.

Looking great AJ :thumbsup: It's always a great day when you get paint on parts!

Looking sweet!

Its been a bit since my last update. Didn't get much work on the car done for sometime then I started picking it up again here and there. Got quite a bit done paint wise too.

Engine cleaned and prepped for paint.

Mixed up some paint I had around the house and ended up with this color. Didn't care for it at first but the more I look at the the more I like it.

Taking advantage of the exhaust notches in the trunk I built a washer jug to clean up the engine bay and move weight to the rear.
