Car is 90% seam sealed. I was waiting on doing the rear section until after two last things were finished up in the rear. This is one of the two things needed done. Sadly there is a few projects going on with the car that it has been strongly recommended to me that I not post online at this point . Now that they are both done the bare metal will be epoxied and seam sealed then its ready for paint.

Got lots of stuff done over the past few weeks with the little bit of time I've had to work on the car. First we got the watts link bracket and fuel cell cage masked off and painted.




Then after about a week we masked off the freshly painted parts to seal the bottom of the car.




My buddy Jon then got the base coat shot.



Then he got it cleared coated




And today I started finial assembly of the small parts that go on the bottom.

Killer thread! Thanks for all the progress pictures and like Matt said, it's a great resource





Quick question, how did you get the metal to submit to that shape?

Its been a bit since my last update. Didn't get much work on the car done for sometime then I started picking it up again here and there. Got quite a bit done paint wise too.

Engine cleaned and prepped for paint.


Then got it shot in epoxy.


Mixed up some paint I had around the house and ended up with this color. Didn't care for it at first but the more I look at the the more I like it.


Also got the transmission stripped and painted.



And got them both assembled


Most importantly I got my sub frame back!


And installed


Taking advantage of the exhaust notches in the trunk I built a washer jug to clean up the engine bay and move weight to the rear.



Today I started removing the last of the cancer.


I ended for the night with about half the lip repaired.
