Update on my rusty firebird - Lateral-g Forums

I'm just waiting for the other quarter and roof to show up at Summit. I've got those areas prepped and ready to go as soon as they get in. Pics will follow soon after.

Quick question for you body guys: What do you use to fill in the area where the drip rails and roof meet? There was some sort of sealer/filler in there. I've been told mar-glass and filler. What about metal based filler?
Thanks for the input

Wow. I thought that I was brave when I tried my first panel replacement (quarter skins) but your taking the "baptism by fire" thing to a whole new level. Everything looks great. Keep up the great work.

Thanks, hopefully I can get some more work done on it soon. I had to take a break from it to work on my little brother's car.

Looking great!! Let me know how the roof goes, I'll be doing one soon too on a '70 camaro.

Pm sent to you regarding the Pontiac motor and parts.

Thanks, I'm determined to get this thing together. I'm in Reno and Hot August nights was this week, so I got to see a bunch of stuff to get me motivated. I got the rest of the sheetmetal for the body and started mocking it up. I'm having issues with the Goodmark driver's side quarter. It seems to be too high along the door side. I had to trim from the bottom to get it closer. Needs more massaging, though. I'll post up some pics soon.
