time for another update ,i been working on the back upper quarter panel i have it blocked and primed,just need to do some more 400 grit blocking then i can apply my final coat of 2k primer,then 600 wet sand then on to my final 800 wet sand,the lower quarter panel is next it needs a little tlc has a few bumps and bruises but still rust free as far as i can tell,its amazing even the rockers were rust free and zero bondo,i feel so quilty using a little glazing putty,because its already free of all that but no choice if i wanna make it really straight.trying to keep it to a minimum,i been using dolphin glaze hope thats a good one.dont want any fallouts farther down the road.

been taking off my front clip slowly but surely,im stuck on the front bumper them bolts are rusted on bad,the nut and bolt keep turning together,but the hard part theres no head on the nut its welded onto the bracket.this is how far i got already.the wiring is a real mess,i will be tearing that out soon.

I hate it when bolts just spin and you can't get them out....I've been known to break things when that happens.
And good luck on the wiring. I'm currently helping my friend make sense of his old cadillac's wiring....I wonder what kind of drugs those engineers were on. My programs never have bugs,they just develop new features!

i know what u mean u cant even find where half the wires are going,on these old cars thats why i figured i would start from scratch and go from there.
yeah them bolts sure were a pain to get off,i hate them too but if i got mad and started breaking things i would have to repair it.LOL... i just got tired of messing with them i just took a cut-off wheel to them.also got that nasty engine harness out of there looks much better,i have a new harness to go in its place.
