STILL messin with the trunk lid, shes way low where the putty is, the edge is also, gotta consult my ole body man before I put a gallon a putty on there! :banghead:
but even with the set backs, it was nice to get some hours in on the car, got the engine block offs on, spun the motor a bit, poured a little oil down thew cylinders & gave it a quick coat of degreaser, she's a bit dirty!

Shot some prime on the problem spots on the hood & trunk lid, a coat of epoxy to seal em up & then a couple a coats a high build & a quick spray of guide coat, hope to start sanding sat see how much more work is ahead?  no parts in yet  so I 'm working on the rear backing plates, there pretty nasty but a ton of elbow greese should get em useable!

Hey guys, I'm still alive & kickin, mosty kickin latley, busy season at work,been draging butt a bit this year(I'm not getting any younger & these hot attics are takin there toll) even if I could steal a few hours, I'm either too tired or it's too damn hot,fall is approaching rapidly, there will be some 'cuda time, if i can ever find a few small parts that are holding up the suspension rebuild! (strut rod sleves for one) . but I drive the POS 74 around the hood once in a while just to keep up the spirits! Rich.
