finally in primer.

now comes the primer and sealer. the primer dries to match the original as close as ive ever seen

the whole car was sand blasted to remove the black primer. paint wont stick to it

kinda weird to see a car on its top.

once the body was done we put it on the rotiserie in prep for sand blasting

semi roller with all sheet metal mocked up

i guess i should show you what it took to put on the new quarters.

the end caps from stang aholics fit the quarters perfectly. no problems

the floor pieces all went in with little or no problem

floor panel welded in place with the wheel wheels and new quarters welded in place. the dyna corn pieces fit perfectly

more parts

the next part was the jig saw puzzle that would soon be the new floor assm from the fire wall to the rear tail light panel

once the front clip was installed. the front fenders and glass hood were fitted and squared to be sure the front end was aligned properly

the front clip was built on a jig with the new fire wall installed

once everything was fitted, the front clip was slid into position on the body. squaring and leveling was the tricky part. its nice to have more than one car around to double check measurements.

I bought a donor car for misc pieces needed to do repairs. so the fire wall and front frame section was cut out of the donor and fitted with all the replacement and original panels

when we started looking at the frame and how it was attached the best way to do the deed was to cut and pull the body off of the frame

walk through floor

seeing it like this will almost make u cry

all aluminum fender wells and rear tub
