Keep going.....I'm proud your getting to do this. Looks like your using some of my old methods. 2X4 make for a good idea builder....

Was a warm Sunday pop the garage doors up and did something for a change . Skim coat the patch on bottom of fender . The reinforcement panel behind the headlight bucket needed a patch .I didn't finish it to well since its hidden just didn't want any rust there . The hood and the new door skin need a little work and that's all that is left ,the outside is finished and everything is ready for color . I'll shoot the floors and passenger compartment then the trunk area and get it all cut in . Had it 11 years and have about 2 1/2 of actually working on it in getting it this far . It has been a restore and not a cover up .

Have I ever mentioned I hate doing plastic work I am to slow and keep taking it off to put it on one more time LOL.

Thanks man, I am trying to finish it before I go to school at the end of june, my fingers are crossed. I do have almost all the parts and brackets to finish up the frame. I still need some stuff like brake lines and fuel tank, but most of the hard work is going to get the body in driveable shape. LoL i tore the back seat out of a 96 ford conversion van, the one that lays into a bed. I want to use the frame from that seat along with the motor that moves it back and forth, so I have power seats but the driveshaft might hit . "only time will tell."
