Just trying to get some stuff painted tonight so in the next few days hopefully I can get some assy. work done. Got the rear bumper brackets primed n painted flat black. Also got the center bumper filler painted. The metal piece is flat black and the filler piece is trim black. Not gonna use the right n left fillers, the right piece is junk anyway but the the left piece is good but no biggie lol
Forgot to add that I am really glad I went to my buddys house yesterday. I forgot about the front bumper bracket braces that go to the frame. Also forgot about my front sway bar, but thats gotta wait till I get bushings n links anyway.
Got the bumper braces blasted and painted, Hammered silver ofcaurse lol
Also got the flat black inside the rear bumper. Hopefully more to come tomorrow.

Got a couple parts installed I painted yesterday. Not sure why, but I am having another lazy day lol. I ordered more Eastwood chassis black satin for the inner wheelwells. Hopefully it will come for the 3 day weekend comming. Then I can pretty much finish up the body
Thanks, lol
But today is turning into a lazy pissed off day!!!
Looks like I got the wrong door locks

For the end of tiday.................I'll leave ya with these pics
Hopefully more to come tomorrow

Was trying to figure out how I was gonna hang on to these babys while sanding.........................Problem solved
Well, two hrs latter I only got one done that took alot longer then I thought. Strip the other one in the morning. Not sure about the insides though, there is a light coating of undercoating there. I'll prolly leave it n just chassis black over it. That should help the rocks n stuff.

Got the 2nd wheelwell stripped. It sure would be nice if I can get these painted and installed today
Ok, got the insides sprayed. They look shiny in the pics, but the Eastwood satin will calm down as it dries. Now as long as it don't take 3 hrs to dry enough to flip them we will be ok lol
Got the wheelwells flipped n painted. All I can say is OMG......WOW I shouldn't say it, but I can't help myself..................... I think these are gonna look bad A$$ under those yellow fenders
There is no way I am gonna try n install these tonight. Gonna wait till morning. In the mean time I think I will work on the final install on the battery.

Got the right side in
The pics do not do it justice, looks much better in person. On to the left side.
Got the left side on. Gonna do some parts chasing then start on the lower valance
One more pic with her back on the ground.
I do have the water shields, but not sure if I wanna put them on or not.
Got the lower valance sanded with 320 then 400 and got the sealer on.
Ok, got the yellow on.
Got the clear on. Now it's time for a beer n relax! Tomorrow is my day off for the holiday, so hopefully I can get another can of trim black to get the lower grille painted and get this baby installed
That should really finish up the nose.
Allmost forgto, I did get some work done on the battery while waiting between colors to dry. Now all I gotta do it figure out how to make the top fit lol.
Amazing Job! Really saved this car from rusting away!
