Great thread and great dude (or autonomous Datsun commune of great people) to have get it ready for you!

The keeper's build threads are always full of so much great info; it's gotta feel good knowing that much knowledge, skill, and experience is being put into your car!

Now on track

 

Cleaning and filling the areas that are leaded from the factory.

First a thin coat of fiber glass kitty hair is spread, then sanded and smooth over with Bondo

This sexy thing has been sitting in the shop for months, so everything that has been sanded needed to be sanded again

On with it or someone is getting hurt

 

Resanded the rusty finger prints off the quarters and tailpanel. Looky bare metal soft and pretty. Stop rusting out our hard work.

Did you know your hands have oil on them and create rust when you touch bare metal. Now ya know.

Also got the plug cut for the running lights, fucking hate running lights.
