Trying to figure out what to take pics of that are relevant! I have been just doing sanding not much looks all that different except just sanded. all I have left to sand is the left rocker scoop, the rockers, the rear bumper, do a little mud work to the right rocker scoop as it has air pockets in the gel coat and a bunch of mud work to the engine scoop as it is wavy as a flag. other than that almost ready for primer if it would ever stop raining!!!! then there will be a ton of pics!

John do you want the black trim painted car color or do you want to keep it black? I am digging all that stuff out this week and getting it all in order so I know whats here and whats missing. Oh add re-sand door panels to the post above this one. I added more fiberglass to the back side of them after looking at them I just thought a little more would be a good idea at the back in case a shirt gets snagged on the it anyplace. Also I have a 84 right power mirror I grabbed from bone yard thinking it would work for guts but they are different inside than the newer ones so I cant transfer its guts ( it has big dent) Do you have a right one laying around anyplace? and body color or black? Me i would go black with them.

For the trim and mirrors I would like to make them all body color.I don't think I have any power mirror set ups but if you can get one I will pay for it.

I'm curious what you guys ended up doing with the exhaust cut outs that weren't used? I'm kind in the same boat there, I don't know what do do with them for my project. Considered mesh, just leaving them open or filling the area.

Nice work Jets, and nice car Johnny.

Everyone do the reverse rain dance for the next 4 days!!!!! Seriously I think we have had like 3 good days in the past 5 weeks! I am thinking if everything goes well this weekend I hope to have most if not all the parts in high build primer. Some of the parts are being a major pain in the ass as the gel coat is super thin and full of massive air pockets. I want it to be right so I am digging out all the bad spots and filling them but it is killing my time frame I set. Have a good holiday!!

And........I would call it 90 percent ready for primer! I finished fixing bad gel coat on the door skins, the Rockers scoops, and front bumper today. Man I am really ticked off about the 600 frigin air pockets I have had to fill Ugh oh well they are fixed now unless more pop out. Tomorrow morning depending on family events I will be scuffing up the rear bumper and the finally sanding the rockers. I am hoping to have it primed soon! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel Now stop turning it off on me!!! not funny!

Alright Rob...you have to post some pics when you get to that point. it will be the first time the car has been in all one color!!! Maybe you can put your rims on her on one side so we can make some rim size decisions.

Shooting for tomorrow bud, I think I will get a least some of the parts in primer if not all. I have a gallon and a half so I should have plenty if the weather lets me it is going to happen. I tend to have this tradition of making milestones on projects during the 4th weekend I want to keep that tradition going.

SO about those pesky 4th weekend milestones.......................

Dash wiring modified for the trani switch



Body parts ready to prime



Hood ready to prime



Nose ready for primer



Rear clip In high build Fill Primer



Rocker scoops left and right In high build fill primer



Nose in high build fill primer




Front fenders in high build fill primer.



I need to primer the roof, hood, back bumper, door skins and engine lid yet. Got too windy and was afraid id over spray the neighborhood so had to stop for the day. These were the biggest concern parts for me tho besides the door skins. There is a ton of pin holes in the gel coat I need to deal with but with the build primer on now it is a lot easier to see and fix before I sand it all down to its final state before paint. Happy Independence day A day late! Was kinda busy with family to post yesterday but here ya go!!

Oh hey almost forgot to write here, I left the antenna hole in it. I think the stock one is the way to go if you want to get long range signal. I can still fill it but for now left it in.
