Thanks man! Its getting there! Ill be happy when its in primer and paint!!

And DONE! Looks good enough for this guy! Any small imperfections left will come out of it once I lay down the 4 or 5 coats of 2k primer. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. This car is my first attempt at body work of any kind.

Jack, dead serious! Never touched a can of body filler before this car. Its been a steep learning curve let me tell you! Ive always been able to fabricate, so I knew I could handle the cutting and rewelding of new pieces. Just getting over the "shock" value if you will, and getting down and dirty!

Thanks bro!!

There was also a rot hole right behind the lower edge of the drip rail. It was about the size of a golf ball and extended down past that first body line. That one made me a little more nervous as I was dealing with bending a piece up and trying to get that body line back as straight as I could. But, turned out alright!

Thanks man!!! I tell you what, doing it gives me a whole new respect for body men and the prices they charge! Thats for sure!

Rodney,
My first attempt at body work didn't turn out quite as nice as your work. However, I was like 18 yrs old and didn't have the tools, or ability.. nor the resources.

Again, I commend you on your fine work. As Bro Al said, "You're a natural".
Keep up the good work, man.

Thanks again fellas! I really like doing fabrication related stuff. Body work...eh... Haha. But like to fabricate!
