Great work guys! Anymore updates?

I have been busy working in the shop and I need to update

I block sanded the fiberglass hood

Sprayed one coat of SPI black epoxy

Two Coats of SPI Turbo primer

Block sanded again

Two coats of SPI epoxy

The fiberglass bumper did not fit our car. The center section did not line up with the lower valance and the bumper was to narrow.
I cut the center out of the bumper and had to modify the holes in the taillight panel to get the bumper lowered.

I used Duraglass to attach the brackets to the bumper. Later I added a couple layers of fiberglass to hold them in place

This shows you have much I need to add to the left side

I added fiberglass to the top to hold it in place

I clamped it to a long piece of angle and added fiberglass on the back side.

I removed the braces and clamps and finished adding fiberglass to both sides and this is how it looks now. I still have to work on the gaps.

I epoxy primed the bumper and test fit

It still needed a little bodywork

Epoxy primed again

This project will be on hold for a little while.

Ah ! I don't like it when a show is ...To be continued

We are back working on this project. I had to do a little bodywork on the front of the fenders to get them to line up to the new front valance and epoxy primed.

Front valance and rear bumper block sanded and epoxy primed

Test fitting one more time

I see this amount of work done for a "customer" and always wonder what the price is. I understand why you may not want to tell us what he's paying but can you tell us how many hours you've billed at this point?

Anymore updates, she sure looks nice

We have been working on this doing a lot of little things to make it look right. The hood did not line up with the headlight buckets so I had to add fiberglass to the end of the hood.

Brian test fit all the door glass, vent windows, quarter windows, windshield and back glass moldings

This area needed a little work

I worked on the body lines

As you can see in this photo the front valance was a little high and the fender had a low spot that needed bodywork

In the middle of a lot of block sanding and looking for any imperfections

 

[rusty428cj]

The back of the hood was sanded and epoxy primed

Block sanded the body and epoxy primed

The trunk was sanded and epoxy primed

The engine compartment was sanded and epoxy primed

Final taping before paint

Epoxy primed

 

[rusty428cj]

After sanding we found a couple of small imperfections I wasn't happy with so I fixed them and epoxy primed again. It will be ready for paint after a little wet sanding with 600.

Brian covering the engine compartment the other day getting it ready for pepper gray.

Yesterday I sprayed 3 coats of ProSpray pepper gray

 

[rusty428cj]

Today I sprayed a couple of coats of SPI Universal clear. The next step will be to wet sand and lay out the stripes and spray more clear.

Excellent work! It's looking really nice. I'm looking forward to the final product.

I know that is pepper grey ,but a couple of those pics look bronze and i think that would have looked realy good as well with those black stripes ...it is looking great
