Trust me, I have come very close a few times....

After a long day in the garage and with the help of my good friend Brian, the frame is done and ready for paint!

I finished blending the gussets to the UCA mounts and got some primer on them.




Then it was time to install the new inner fenders for the first time...I've been dreading this! They actually fit better than the last set that Chris had to do a ton of work on to make fit. I was very pleased with the install! Now that they fit I will fill all the unused holes, then prim and paint.

Sheet metal is hung!

Next order of business is to get the fenders to play a nicer with the valance. One thing is for sure, Repop '67-'68 fender extensions fit like crap! No worries, I will whip them into shape!

This is the best I could get everything to fit after a lot of adjustment and enlarging bolt holes. Tomorrow I will get a little more serious!

You can also see where Chris modified the fenders at the bumper bracket locations. He did a good job, but I will clean that line up a bit more as well.

I know this may be hard for many to understand, but please remember this is My Car, I have been building it for 10 years and I know exactly the way I want it...so I'm doing what it takes to make that happen.

I've also spent a little time on the back of the car. Once I decided to go back to the one piece spoiler that meant the bolt holes in the quarters needed to be filled and since I was going to do that I decided to put the seam back in the tail panel the way I wanted it done. I feel it will make more since and create a better seperation between the body color and black tail panel.

After many hours and two Dremel bits I have most of the weld ground out and can start the mud work to finalize the seam.


Holes being welded up.

Holy crap batman!

Tony - as you know - I have seen the car after it got "painted" so know exactly what you're doing...

But mostly I'm just glad to see you tackling the job. It's therapeutic...
