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

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

Great progress on the car, keep us posted!

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)

Great Job...it's encouraging to see others taking on this daunting task.

today i finished epoxy priming the car, having trouble alligining the passanger door, and still need to put the hood on.

i sprayed one layer of polyprimer today with a 1.9mm tip and it came out good, nice and high build
i will post pictures of my progress soon
