The race shop finished up my engine last week so I took a ride up on Friday to see a couple of pulls.

update - Both quarters are fully welded and prepped with and 1 skim coat of Duraglas filler. I'll put another coat of the duraglas on each side then finalize the inside seams. For those, I'm planning on brush coating with EW rust encapsulator paint then applying seam sealer.

Kudos on the bodywork. I am dreading the stuff I have to do and its nothing compared to your stuff.

Finished up a little more body work around the trunk area. Patched up the gutter channels and welded up the tail light panel body seams plus a coat of filler over the welds.

Bit more progress to report. I've got the dash repaired and back in the car, which was a good bit of work. I gave the dash and firewall the same treatment as my inner quarters. Also finalized the cage. Added a few more bars and gussets. I'm working on the transmission cut-out now.
