ok today pulled the body off and i still need just a few small things to do then spay it with the primer it is not perfect but i want to get it back together as i need to move on to other projects like my house


engine man MAY 18, 02:31 PM
well no red paint tomorrow as there is much more sanding and smoothing to do after spraying it with primer but i will get it done before the summer is over

i have decided i am going to drape a plastic sheet over the chassis then put the body back on minus door skins hood and trunk and do the rest of the bodywork and paint because i think that will work better for me because the body is moving around when i try to sand and it will be easier to do this instead of putting the body on and sand it then take it off to paint it and all i have to do in the end is pull the plastic sheet off and bolt the body on
