this will be done in less than 3 weeks. here are some pics to give you guys and idea where i am headed. just got it in white primer today.  Hosted on Fotkiafter blocking, i find there are a lot of waves and dips in this body.......  Hosted on Fotkiin case you have never seen one in real life....  in white primer! i should have a little wet sanding to do before i paint and maybe another light coat of primer. just making sure all the body repairs (see previous photos) are invisible. this is the first time i have ever glued a hood shut, can ya believe that? it's not a big acheivement by any means, but i have never done this to go curbside. usually i just leave the hood down but still has a motor   Hosted on Fotki |

Sorry, my bad lol is ok! actually many people thought this was going to be a lowrider.....i don't see any wire wheels? the cragars would fall into a 70s lowrider...but i am not using them. will have pinner whites with hub caps.  |

what did u paint it with, looks like ruff sandpaper  ? it's just a mist coat to see the body with color. much of it will be sanded off before it's painted. |

Nice looking build, Bob. Personally I'd like to see some 3 bars on it. Those rims do look good, though.

IMHO, that wheel/tire combo looks pretty good on that car.
