Wow...you've got skills! Judging by the attention to detail so far, I'm betting this is going to be one hell of a build!!

Hey it's a car again!!

I may have missed it, but what product are you spraying on the back side of the panels...is it Rapture coating? It should really help with road noise!!

I used Lizard Skin. I hope it reduces noise, that was my intention. It seems to have taken the ringing effect out of the panels.

Once all the body panels were on we were able to get it off the fixture. I was a good feeling be able to roll it outside.



Next it I decided to pull up the dynamat and get the floors blasted. It's a good I did, I found some more rust.





After having the floors media blasted

Thank you.

This is actually my first build.. I've just been taking my time and learning as I go. My dad has been a big help. He has a lot of automotive and metal/machine work experience. However, he's never taken a car this far. So, it's been a learning experience for both of us.
