ooohhh its starting to look better

 

i will be posting some more pics soon, i have been busy geting the bodywork done its a lot of work, plus i have school which takes up a lot of time. i have almost primed the whole car in epoxy, (less one door and one quarter) soon i will be priming the whole car in high build so i can block sand it smooth

 

cant wait until its done

 

Looks like its really coming along nicely Alex! :TU: I'm looking forward to seeing progress made on this Skylark. :beer

 

Great progress on the car, keep us posted! :TU:

 

thanks guys, last weekend i got the roof coated with high build primer and have started to block it with 400. im also finishing body work to one of the quarters. it was loaded with bondo, i popped the metal back into place and smothed it out, hopefully this weekend i will get the repair areas sprayed with epoxy primer, and then coat the whole rear of the car with high build primer. the front side has primer on, but im gonna strip it back down to bare metal, and apply epoxy then high build, which will make the job longer lasting.

im planning on filling the small holes where the bumber strips were on the door, i also have to do alot of work on the back window (it was a vinel top car, loads of rust around back window)

i hope to finish the bodywork and get the car painted before school starts in september. it wil be painted '70 limemist with gsx hood stripes (no, side stripes)
