Sanding and sanding, pics pg 5 Options

[JonMarkos]

Finally got the keys to the warehouse where I will be working on my car. I grabbed up the parts I've gained so far and took them out there, figured I'd snap a few pics while I was at it. This place is a lot bigger than I was expecting, I guess I've just never seen 4500 sq ft of plain open space before.

This is where I'll be working on it at, I wasn't parking it there to start tearing it apart just yet, I just wanted to get some measurements so I can setup a proper paint booth when the time comes.




Just another shot.



I'm getting excited, I can't wait to have her looking like the nubian goddess she should be .

WOO HOO, finally finished up with all the repair work on the body today.


Passenger rear quarter panel.


Trunk lid.

After finishing the sanding of that bondo and also a couple of touch up spots else where on the car I started work on the body kit. I set up both rear extensions and started measuring so I could ensure they will be lined up perfect.


This is pretty much where they will both be placed at, I would have gone ahead and used the adhesive to hold them into place but I didn't have any clamps with me and I really didn't feel like sitting there for 6 hours holding them on until they held. I'm also comtemplating mixing fiberglass fiber in with the adhesive to give it some added strength (my dad's idea). I'm not too worried about doing that with the rears though. The sides are another story. They fall about 1/4 inch short so what I am thinking of doing is cutting one end off then screwing in the other end and using that adhesive all along the body. I'd then use some bondo with fiberglass already mixed in to make the cut end flush and to mold the skirts on uniformly. I guess that'll have to wait for another day.
