Popular Post sheepers Posted November 10, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2013 it has taken way way to long to get to this point but i have primed the back half of the car. I've put a lot of work into the shape and its looking pretty good, hopefully it will mean that it goes a bit quicker from here but we shall see.

sheepers Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 during the week i have achieved. i have achieved things. drivers door and front guard have been shaped and primed. also, sunroof goes by by. the sunroof isn't finished yet but its close, my mate Peter the panel beater is doing shape, i did the welding. He reckons he can finish it monday night. over the weekend i hope to get the passengers side door and guard primed. then its long board the whole car (except the roof) dry with 250 grit, then another coat of primer and wet sand it in preparation for colour. still got to do the roof obviously and fix a couple of holes in the bottom of the sills. parts of me think i can paint it before crissy and parts of me think i have no chance. I'm going to give it a red hot go and lets see what happens.

Popular Post sheepers Posted November 21, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2013 one of the other things that has been happening in the background as I've been doing paint prep is get some mirrors organised. cut a long story short i decided to use Mopar mirrors. i couldn't buy the mirrors with a pedestal that fit the car so i made some new ones to replace the stock E body pedestals and used the mirror housing on the top. these are billet aluminum. these will get polished and electroless nickel coated. basically it will look like they are chromed, the mirrors that go onto these are chrome too. they still need a bit of a tickle up shape wise but they are pretty close.

Popular Post sheepers Posted December 19, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2013 i also made some radiator cap cover thingys. I've just given them a quick polish to see how they look and they came up super good but you can still see the machining marks in them. i think il polish them some more and maybe paint the crown bit green. I've got a couple of spares so ill try it on one of them first and see how i like it. i think the pictures should explain how i made them.
