Finally got some more time in on Mikes car. Got the quarters welded in, patched up the bottoms of the quarters, filled side markers and antenna holes, and a few other small spots I didn't take pics of and pulled a few dents. Most likely will get the rears mudded and shaped in next week, finish stripping the rest of the body and prime it, and get the drivers floor patched up.

Is it ready for paint now? Or is there still more welding to be done?

yeah, dude, nice work Scotty! I am always amazed at what good body guys can do... I am more of the 1/4" thick bondo type of guy by the time I get done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I really cannot believe how often I see cars like that - there are some really nice looking cars that the owner really has no idea how crappy it really is. I saw a really nice 69 Camaro awhile back and then I got kinda looking at it and realized that there was nearly 1/4" of bondo at the front edge of the doors and the fenders were like that too. I would think an owner would catch that; it isn't hard to see that kinda crappy work at the seams. Man, looking back at those wreck photos reminds me why the floor in my racecar looks like this! Hard to see in this shot but I have two 2" diam cross tubes (one at my feet, one at the rear firewall), then two 1-3/4" tubes that cross right at the front and rear of the seats. If I hit something it will hurt, but hopefully whatever I hit won't make it all the way to my body. The Baja Shop guys that built it told me I was crazy to have so much cross bar in a car, then I explained to them how cement retaining walls and 150mph top speeds don't go together well should I decide to perform some sort of anal-cranial inversion on the track. |

Is it ready for paint now? Or is there still more welding to be done? No more welding, but plenty more body work. I started fitting the front bumper today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) It always surprises me how shitty these aftermarket fiberglass panels are. I'll post some pics here, but I will also be making a new thread on " how to make a GT bumper fit ". I trimmed the hood and headlight edges today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Took almost 1/4 inch off, the hood was actually laying on top of the bumper. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Once the front fenders are blocked out smooth I will have to cut the sides of the bumper OFF and reposition thewm. The drivers side needs to come back ( towards the body ) and the passengers side needs to come in and back !! It actually sticks out past the side of the car about 3/16" I'm going to fit the rear bumper tomorrow since the qurters are done. It looks as if it is going to need some serious repositioning as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Primer hopefully later this week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Ya, those front ones suck, so do the rears (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I am glad I am paying a professional (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Scotty, you know I want flared rockers as well, right? I think we spoke about it and you were going to fab some out of the steel ones since I didnt want them to say PORSCHE.

Funny you should bring this up. I was thinking about it today, and couldn't remember what we talked about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif). Do you want the front of them flared too ? Also do you want the rear of them made like the factory flared ones or do you want the rocker to actually follow the buldge in the quarter ?

I want them to follow the line of the flair but point straight down. Hard to explain, I may have to draw it.
What about my flairs, they look uneven (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

What about my flairs, they look uneven (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Camera angle I guess. I put the contour gauge on them and they are spot on to each other. And yeah I may need a drawing of that explanation (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Not going to get to them any time soon anyway. You'll probably be down before then. |

I'll start a new thread with more pics of making a GT bumper fit but for now here are a few of the initial problems and the fixes so far.
