And we're back again.
Progressing along nicely...both Bodyguy #1 and #2 were hard at work today when we arrived. I noticed a layer of murky black water under the bottom of the shop bay door when we first arrived...sure sign of wetsanding in process. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
The final major preps are rapidly approaching completion, and the pass. door and part of the roof are about all that's left to be wetsanded.
Nice panel alignment, esp. considering what Bodyguy had to start with. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
The A pillar cover isn't fastened down yet, so it's not spot on with the cowl or fender in this pic.
The fender emblem holes were a bit off from where they were supposed to be, so Bodyguy had to weld the holes up and relocate the emblem. He was right in the middle of this when we arrived.
The back of the car is almost done; still on the "to do" list are the hole for the rear antenna, the rear window trim studs, the decklid trim studs, and the holes for the rear body panel trim. Small potatoes at this point.
Still on the "to do" list are finishing up the rockers, installing the windshield trim studs, fitting the hood for the "Chevelle" emblem, rebuilding the door hinges, fitting the wheel well moldings, and that's about it! Bodyguy said by this time next week the car should be back apart for inside/backside panel prep, and we *should* have some color on the car within the next few weeks!
WOO HOO!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]
Bodyguy estimated roughly another 2 months worth of work and the car will be done.
God willing and the creek don't rise, by this summer she should be out [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/
