Sheet Metal

Friday night I got a call from the guy who is doing my sheet metal and boy was I a happy camper. He had already installed the left rocker panel, left rearqtr patch panel and left front dog leg. He also has cut out the right quarter panel and he will be installing it and the new rocker sometime this week. I had to order a new right front patch panel as the original has a few rust spots. If all goes well I should have it back and ready to slap some puddy on it in a couple of weeks.

I had the grill re-chromed and the insert polished. I picked it up Friday after work. It looks really good, it is not show quality but it looks great. Reassembled the grill and other components

New rocker, qtr patch panel and front patch panel installed

Well my son and I sanded for 2 hours last evening in the engine compartment, got most of of it sanded and primed. Still have a long way to go in the compartment to get it the way I want it to be.
