My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade

[Tx Firefighter]

All paint and body work is now complete. These modern materials for that are freakin spectacular. Poly primer is like spray on body filler. 2k primer sands easy as pie. It's all awesome.

I took every panel to complete bare metal. Then roughed in the body work. Sprayed with epoxy primer, then touch up any body work. Then poly primer (Feather Fill). Block that out. Then 2k primer and final block it out, then seal and paint. Killer stuff. All of my supplies are a Summit Racing branded and I have no complaints about any of it.

Each door had a bunch of old mirror holes to weld up to start with before I could do any paint and body work.



These fenders were a mess. They had moldings originally so there were a lot of holes to weld up before I did anything.





Then I rebuilt all of the door stuff. All of it. Wing windows got all restored with all new rubber. Window regulators got new rollers. Everything. Works mint now.





From here on its just nuts and bolts. No worries, I got that handled. I was just under the gun to get all of the paint and body done before the weather turned bad. It's currently in the shop with the front clip off and engine out. I'll get the Dropmember installed later this week. Then freshen up the engine and do all the details. I said up front my goal for completion was Decatur swap meet in February. I'm confident that's gonna happen.
