Today I started body filler work on my GT6. Lots of cheese grating and sanding but things are looking good [for an amatuer]. The attached photo is what I am starting with. I will do some after shots in a day or two before we prime.
This photo shows the wheel arch I had to pull out with a stud welder..that was challenging but fun. Attached image(s)

And here is the rear end. We discovered the car had been hit and was in about 1 " or so and instead if pulling it out the PO just filled her up with Bondo..this is where I learned to use a dolly and hammer. The center section had a "tin can" effect and it took a lot of gentle persuation ...and patience. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Looks great. That much exposed metal makes me scared. With all the rain we've been having, I like to see some primer on it. Paul |

Yes...I know but my body guy insists I get the filler on the metal first and any surface rust can be removed before we prime. It's just spotty...from sweat!
I should have the body primed by Friday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
