My neighbor is the DuPont Auto rep for Southern California and has offered his assistance in the body work and paint on my car. The weather has started to cool so we started gettin er done.

Right rear first. Found some ripples under the passenger tail light.

Wow nice sheet metal. I started to do that to mine and soon found three layers of paint and a thin coat of glaze about 1/16 to 1/8 inch over the whole body? What the hell were they thinking PO that is? I just sent it to the body shop and tolt them to sand it smooth and go from there.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I see sheet metal, me envious.

After looking at the right rear fender my neighbor thought it best that I take it down to metal as he was seeing some areas he had concern about.

Glad he is helping.

silly rabbit. no such thing as an 8" cookie....

7's require a solid inch with 225's on em.....

8's are a little more.. aim for 2".. and HAVE THE WHEEL to mock it up on...

i bought my wheels and tires.. and made teh car fit around them LOL

and a 7" cookie has a slightly worse offset than a 7" fuch IIRC

Update on the fat tires. I'm staying skinny. I like the look.

Quarter and sail panel stripped down to bear metal.

Dollied some bulges to even out the contour of the fender. You would not believe the amount of bondo that I removed.
