time for some mud..... lots of it.




found some roof issues after taking it to bare metal...





dont have a picture of the repair, but thats what it started as...




if you notice i work body line to body line on the car, before i hit it with any mud the car gets blocked down real hard with 40grit then the hammering and a skim to finish it. theres really no hacked repairs found yet except for the cave and pave on the roof that was recovered in vinyl, but thats all sorted out now.

also tubbed the rear wheel wells, where the the outer part of the wheel wells were rubbing my tires ever so slightly when i rolled low, so they were cut out to the seam where the inner meets the outer, and the tubs were butted to the quarter and seam sealed to the quarter panel. loads of clearance now. also used some 1/4" roundbar to clean up the wheelwell lip.





the aftermath.

its not an awfully interesting update, but thats all i can offer for now.
