So far, the windows are taped and the passenger inner fender is striped and ready to be welded up.

Its totally up to Matt, but I don't think he wants it smoothed out like mine. I think he just wants a few of the heater core holes and screw holes removed. I have no problem taking them all out for him, but it's his car. It has a few spots that need to be cut out to remove some rust where the battery was, and new metal weld back in. Other than that, it should move quick.

Umm, I'd say he made out on the trade...

That's the first time in I don't know how long that it made it out of the garage. I was wondering if the distance it rolled to the trailer counts as break-in for the rear end? I do have fresh black marks in the driveway though. MMy spool marked it up on the way out, and Matts marked it up on the way up. The kids think it looks like a drag race track, wife hasn't seen it yet. I don't think she will feel the same. Just a hunch. LOL.

Amen!
Plus that car was a whole easier to get down the driveway and onto the trailer......today my fat, out of shape body feels like we pushed Matt's car up Mt. Everest.
Car is gonna look good!!!

Just what we are doing is going to make a huge difference in how it looks when you open the hood.

It's amazing that a few small things can make a big difference.

Some pictures from last nights progress. I have the right rear quarter all finished and ready for prime and block. I sprayed it with some sandable primer I had left over, but it needs to be done in light gray and blocked a few times.
I also fabricated a bracket set for the rear facia to give it some rigidity and prevent it from sagging. It has no inners, so it was basically a noodle. To the average person who pushes on it now, they would never know it has no inner beam.
