I am reminded just how much talent and skill my buddy has, its cool to see how much faster and better he can do this than a wrench like me.

Dude, the bodywork looks great. I get to see alot of it on a daily basis. When are you gonna have it painted? I would suggest putting it out in the sun for a couple of weeks and let the sun cure the primer. That will help keep it from "pulling the paint" into the bodywork." Can't wait to see more.

Yeah I had a heck of a time getting all the doors, and body aligned . But little by little it all works out. Did you get after market doors?
