Thanks my boy will be back up next weekend to get back on the bodywork. We took about 2 months off because of the holidays so more progress should be coming now.
I think the monterey blue but want to stay with the hrf Daytona blue pearl.

Re: My 1984 Monte SS build thread

Finally got a decent weekend of work in with my boy Heath. I got both of the fender extensions done being welded, I added pieces to the front(will be hidden when bumper is on, but wanted to clean it up anyway) and the rear of them. There is a ton of spot welds on them, I hate spot welding lol. Heath got some more body work done too. The next time he is up we should have the dent puller to get the dents done and we should also get all the welds ground down. The metal work inside the drivers side rear wheel well is done now, I primed it and used duplicolor bed armor on it, but the texture is way off, so I'm going to order gravitex and do it again.

I have an oil leak too, I assume its the rms, but its just a couple drips every week so I'm not doing anything about it now. I'll yank the drive train next winter.
