Sandblast Finale

I decided to sandblast the louvers on the rear fenders since they are very hard to sand and the paint was peeling already. So I do believe that is the last that I will be using the sandblaster.

Movin' along

I'm really feeling some progress here. I got the gas flap mounted and working with the new latch and installed the 120 volt receptacle, now it is really an EV! More filler work, got the hood latching and the trunk (boot) latching as well. I can almost smell the fresh paint job already!

Frankencar

It only took about an hour to strip the body panels off of the parts car. I got the hood on along with my repaired front fenders and got them all adjusted pretty close. I decided my fronts were better than the others. I am going to use one of my doors and one of the new ones. As for the rears I am going to get rid of mine and use both of the ones from the new donor car. The trunk lid was a tossup but I think I'll keep mine. Don't miss the cool graphics which were on the doors and read fenders.

My New Baby

I just came across this car on Craigslist. I wish I had seen this 2 months ago. I think I am going to use the fenders, doors, hood and trunk lid off of this car instead of the ones I just spent 2 months repairing. This move is going to save me a lot of time and headache. And now I'll have some extra body parts! I bough this car for $175.00.
