    All those hours spent will result in years of satisfaction and enjoyment. Looking good!
    Ate you going to cut & buff?

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I hope it will last.  I’ve poured my left over epoxy primer in every seam of the car from the roof down.  I’m getting excited seeing more and more color on it.  If time permits I’ll try to finish the roll bar this weekend.  Then I’ll get back to block sanding the shell and get it ready for paint.  Bad part is I need to move the car over some and it’s on four jack stands with no suspension.

    Get 4 wheel dollies and weld the jack stands to them. That worked fine for me moving the shell in the shop. Don't know if I'd roll her down the driveway though.

    This weekends progress was getting the roll bar in epoxy primer, door jambs and the front clip.   Then we got the high build primer sprayed on the door jambs, cowl and engine bay.  It was the last thing on my sons wish list before he ships back out tomorrow for SOI training.

    Re: Giving in on body work. Called in my buddy to help.

    Again thanks for the kind words of motivation.   

    Today I was able to finish the bodywork on the quarter panel extensions and start on the sing fit bumper.  The rear bumper had studs bonded to it and they weren’t even close.  I removed them and plan on bonding the factory brackets to the rear fibderglass snug fit bumper.  Made by the same company as the hood and deck lid I have.
