My shoulders hurt from here!

And finger joints get locked up.

 

[Big bill]

I glazed and sanded all that raw filler work...... only another 9 hours or so.

this part of the job sucks, I do it all by hand........ I just push through it'

but 3, 3 hour shifts is pretty much an *** whoopin

I'll get epoxy on all this open stuff on Sunday

pics might not look much different, but my hands hurt

I see the free bondo is working out

It’s great you’re finally gittin er done after all this time.

another couple of days the entire exterior body will be sealed up.....except the trunk lid. I suppose that is next on the list

 

[eldubb440]

a little about the car, I kinda forgot......... pretty nicely optioned 440 auto, console, disc brakes, light package, clock, green glass, headrests, GG1 with black vinyl top.


trunk pan and dutchman are original...... both need a little work, but pretty decent.....I did put a full floor in it...... quarter skins, drops, and outer wheelhouses were done 25 years ago........

it's been on the rotisserie twice, and hung from a tree.......so round 4 is coming

fenders and hood are very nice originals........ roof is immaculate

I put frame connectors in it with the floor........it's a non numbers car, so I don't care about stock....... it's a day 2 build all the way, doesn't need to be the fastest, just clean and a little obnoxious

I may add torque boxes because I like the look

Posting this on break time I hope.

 

[eldubb440]

I have some pics from 2006 ish........ I'm a little embarrassed because I've been this close before; but it didn't happen back then.

since then AMD came out with door skins........ mine were pretty patched up, so I ripped back into them.

maybe it's a good thing the project was shelved for almost 20 years......... it will be fresh

Wait. Shower then work??

 

[eldubb440]

I cannot function without a shower......... and I never stink

Well, besides the paint fumes. lol

 

[eldubb440]

my engine build is 25 years old also........ pistons a bit in the hole, 915 heads cut to the max, Hughes valve train, CH4B, and headers

I measured it out to be about 9.6:1 with no quench........if it runs like crap or detonates, I'll rip it out in a heartbeat; but I'd be nuts not to get it running
