datsunfreak Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 Paint booth is booked for next weekend... Gotta get busy blocking and making her perfect... Umm... The body work won't be perfect. I'm going to purposely make sure it's not perfect in places to pay homage to her past. ^_^ Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted June 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Well it looks like she won't see the paint booth this weekend. My buddy that's helping with the finish body work is super detailed and we're making the body way nicer than I ever imagined. It's worth the wait! My wheels are shipping today!!! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: 5 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It's all the detail that separate the big dogs from the rest... The driver side door had some fitment issues. The top/back edge didn't match the quarter panel. Can't move the quarter panel and I ain't slathering filler to build up the quarter... So I had to go inside and cut a slit so I could push the door skin inward. Looks good now!! I'm shooting for paint on 4th of July weekend and be on the road for Blue Lake. I THINK I can hit this goal.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: 8 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted June 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Now that I have all the parts for the frontend I decided to assemble and check fitment before paint. All is well. 5 Quote Link to comment
