Gave the hood another round a sanding & coat, geeze, still some scratches I missed & now a mystery dent has appeared, I dont think I coulda missed it, but it's glaring at me now! :(
She's sealed for winter, closer than before, so I guess I'll call it a good season & try to be satisfied with the progress, I thought the weldin & grinding was bad, this body work kills!  ;D  Rich.
Da Hood (little off center to the rear is the dent)

Unfortunetly the front valance doesn't come with drips, so I got a bit a sandin to do, but she looks all nice & shiney now! ;)

That's coming along great RC! Doing it yourself is quite a challenge! I am attempting my body work and paint too, sure can take a long time to get some of it just right. Glad to see you making progress and hope to see more soon!  :)

Looking good Rusty!  I admire anyone who can do their own body work!  Nice job!

The header has 2 tiny flaws I hope the clear will hide :-\ the little parts came out good, had another "blistering"  problem with the rear valence! :'(

got her down to a 10 footer today, wind came up in the middle a painting so I cut the shell off at one coat, hid some flaws & showed me some more, but she does look good innthe pics, got some dirt & a few bugs to sand out, next coat should fix her right up(I hope) Rich.

Thanks guys, was runnin low on that motavation stuff, even though theres still work to do on almost every panel, that shot a clear is a breath of fresh air for me, I almost see a glimmer of light at the end of the body work tunnel!
now if I can ever get myself to start on the doors, haven't even stripped those yet, maybe during the winter!  Rich.
