Well, yes, I thought I was posting photos. I can see them on my end. Let me work on that.

Thanks for the heads up.

*Edit- photos are hopefully working now.

pictures are there for me. Looks really good! This is pretty much what I'm on scale with, but I don't weld so I'm dependant on my buddy to weld for me when he has time. It's good to see a garage build to keep us regular guys motivated and not feel too overwhelmed

Don't get me wrong- the big pro builds are totally inspirational and beyond awesome.

I agree...I love seeing the pro builds but I've gleaned equally as much from many of the garage builds on here. I like where you're headed with this one; nice work and keep the updates coming!

Nice work! Your doing a great job. I wish I had gone with the adjustable coil overs in the front. Keep the updates coming I’m enjoying them.

Update-

After letting the urethane/butyl in the window channels sit and dry out, I was able to get it off surprisingly easy with just a wire wheel. Happy about that.

I have 95% of the paint removed from the body shell. Just a few nooks and crannies left to get to.

I've never worked with body filler before...oh what a joy. It looks a hell of a lot easier on Youtube... I'm still getting a feel for how much hardener is needed when it's 85* out with 80% humidity. That stuff turns over *fast* with too much hardener. Also, trying to get a feel for how/how much to apply so I don't create more sanding than needed and/or dull body lines.

There are a few old rust repairs on the doors that need attention. I tackled the door with only one bad spot so far and I think it turned out ok. In the last photo here, I was about 90% done. I was able to blend it a bit better before I primed it.

Maybe they were still loading at the time I posted since the time is pretty close to your posting. I see them now. Nice work.
