1978 Malibu Project, 4th times a charm

[Clutch]

This one has done it's time, we have used it probably a dozen times, cleaning between each, and it was bought on sale for $8.

That's when I buy mine lol and I'm a body man

Back at it with the lid and some primer. I had to strip back the seam sealer as it was lifting in a few spots with some surface rust underneath so it all came off, then Ospho along the seam, then broke out the sandblaster for some stubborn pits.





And we rolled it all outside for a coat of primer along with the inner fender from the truck





And all tucked back in for the night



Unfortunately the Harbor Freight spray gun decided it didn't want to cooperate but we did get at least a protective layer shot and I can seam seal the trunk before we work the couple dings out of it.

Amazing work, as we get used to. Please continue the fine quality..........
I´m really surprised for the result

Two days to seam seal the trunk lid, I wanted to use up my spare self leveling epoxy. Day one was the flat part, day two was the angled part. Yup, at least watching epoxy dry is fast.

A little at a time. I needed to bolt on the front clip so we can start work on the front fenders tomorrow, didn't need the inner fenders but I did even up an area on the passenger side that was chipped/cracked.

I really enjoy this thread. That's going to be a hell of a nice car.

Never skip fender day.

It's time you got off your dead *ss and posted some progress. You've kept us waiting 2x weeks.

Updates to come Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!

Ugh, more fender days and more to come next Saturday




And when the front of the fender is too floppy to sand, you go MacGruber!
