I've been busy finishing up all the final details to the body before I spray the final finish before paint.
I've closed off all the scoops ,and finished all the wheel lips. The final detail is the front fender turn signal locations , I elected to cut them out and re-attached them in a flat plane to the car, due to the coke bottel fenders I felt they would look wrong. The filler is just for rounding the lip for the molding process , I'll do bit more sanding the area around the edges to make it a bit cleaner. I also cut out the fender badge locations, on the OEM car they badges are recessed into the fender .
I'll reattach them similarly the same as the turn signals using a 3/16" spacer held in place and bonded from behind, then finish with some light filler around the perimeter.
I'll post some pics of the finished areas.

Enjoy
Wayne

I finished up the fender shield mounting recessed areas, I'm happy with the way they came out. I tested one of the shields for fit ,fits like a glove.

Thanks for visiting

Thanks Rickady88GT, I appreciate the comments.

For those following the build it’s been a lot of Block sanding !!!! To 120 grit.
Since the last Post I Ended up adding some end caps to the fender and center fill , I found there was to much flex between the pieces making it difficult to block sand . The parts now are attached with riv nuts and 10-32 bolts very solid now. Don O. Also felt I needed to narrow the gap along the roof where the rear sail plane attaches.
I’m hoping to spray it again this weekend with thinned slick sand in preparation for the final sand to 600 before painting.
I’ll post some pics later.

Thanks for looking

Here are a few pics .


This is after the flanges are secure with the flanges installed




This one shows the flanges I glassed in for attachment between the fenders and center fill.




the next one shows the 1/8" seam between the rear sail plain at the roof line.



and the last one shows all the block sanding completed. The dark areas are the epoxy seal primer I sprayed first , the gray is the slick sand I sprayed second. There are a few areas that I went through to the bondo under the primers. But its all smooth and level and sanded to 120 grit the next step is to respray slick sand and block to 600 for painting.



Thanks for looking
