86 GP project

[08Malibu]

Been a while since I’ve updated this thread. I got the drivers side door almost fully repaired, details were in another thread. In that time my father-in-law passed from a long illness, I worked the Northeast Auto Body show, I spent a week in MN for training, then my uncle passed suddenly, I went to Philly for training, said goodbye to my uncle, then I sat back and grieved for a few days. Been a rough month, and my car suffered.
Yesterday was the first day I was able to go in the garage and actually do something, other than get overwhelmed and watch tv. I managed to clean off the car and get the roof stable again. Of course I have a few pinholes to fix. Then I can turn it around and finish the passenger A pillar. Then I need to pull the passenger door and fix the bottom. Then it’s time for filler. Can’t wait to sling some mud. 😂

Sorry to hear of your losses but I'm glad that you're not letting it stop you. I look forward to seeing that car slathered in filler so you can sand away all your thoughts and frustrations.

Sorry to hear about your losses recently Chris. My deepest condolences and sympathies. It’s funny that you posted today, I was just thinking about you and your car last night and was wondering how you were coming along with it.

Thanks guys. Felt good just to get the car cleaned off and to do a little work to it. A little return to normalcy.

My condolences and best wishes for your family. Getting back on the project can be therapeutic. I have really enjoyed watching this build.

That’s the box that they shipped my father in law’s remains in, from NC. I have to hang onto it in case I have to send them south. They actually fedex them, believe it or not.

I had no idea that's how all that worked
