Great to hear from you again Chief.
Those headers look like they'd enjoy an abrasive media blast and ceramic coat at the Spa! Too many books and crannies to disc them well.

Looking forward to more updates, yours is one of the few builds I follow on here. You are in company with anything of Stielow's and Daves BMF if that makes you feel good, I hope it might.

If I didn't do it myself, they would be doing it.
I got a tour of their shop and they had some pretty cool stuff in there!

Yeah, the headers will need a day at the spa ... I will send them out for ceramic coating here real soon, even saved the AME box just for that purpose! Seems the rust was accelerated from road salt, even thou the car was covered the underside still sustained salt spray from the road ... grrrrr!

I will have updates here real soon ... Thanks for looking.

Smile Update 4/16

Cutting up some more of the AMD quarter panel ... trying to get the door gaps better than a 1/2 inch!!! Figured it was easier to metal work the angles of the door jamb that were rounded with the quarter off, and no tension on the panel ... yeah I'm backwards thinking too! Got it to 3/16" metal working the jamb area and I haven't used any gap spray yet





Now I'll put the quarter back on and see how much of gap I'll have to fill in with metal, I'm guessing 3/16" in most places .... been a good day in the garage!

Thanks for looking ....

Ain't that the truth ...


Worked on the door gaps, it's closer now ... It's real close a little more work and it's good enough to body work w a little steel filler. The edges will need to be crisper to match the oem look.


A lot of hand filing ...

Pretty close w a file.

Body lines are still good!

More betta ...


I'll finish metal working the quarter and start on the rear fitment to get her looking like GM built them.

Thanks for looking ....
