Thanks guys I appreciate the comments it has been a long road but there is light at the end of the tunnel!


A lot of work and not a lot to show .... body work is HARD! Anyway, first round is sanded down to 180 and second coat of lite weight filler is drying now and I'll get everything down to 320 and back in epoxy. That should be good enough for a vinyl wrap!











This would be a whole lot easier if I didn't have osteoarthritis in my wrist, after 4 or 5 hours of sanding blocks my wrist is thumping hard!

Thanks for looking ...

Vinyl wrap sounds like a good idea might have to do that so I won't be in paint jail for a year.

I'll come down and help u wrap the "burrito"...i have a lil experience with a heat gun (not a hair dryer for sure). Just be sure to order extra wrap...I've worked with films from glass, so, yeah.

You are kicking butt now! I sat on mine for 6 months. Please post lots of detail on the wrap because I may do that on my car during the shakedown period. I realize the bodywork has to be pretty good even for a wrap.

All the detailed work is gonna make the wrap look even better!! It's kinda like a pro-patina but just the next step up I'd love to have an aged lacquer look but that's long gone so this is the next best thing .... wrap it and don't worry about the paint job!
