68 4-door "Sleeper"
I am still working on the engine bay. I cut out the passenger-side shock tower and welded in some sheet metal. I spent about 2 hours sanding the bondo that I applied to smooth things out.
I will be honest here. I HATE body work. It's not that I can't do it, it's just that I am not good at it.
It reminds me of the times that I have had to do drywall. I can do it but, it takes me about 10 times longer than someone who does it for a living.
When I watch someone spread bondo or drywall mud, I think to myself "I can do that".
The problem for me is that I spend SO much time sanding. I really think that I will spend more time sanding bondo and doing body work than anything else.
On the driver's side, I had some low spots that I had to fill with more bondo. It looks like another night of sanding for me.
In the meantime, I removed the wiring harness and heater to get the engine bay ready for some dark blue pearl paint. :crybaby:
Progress is slow.
