72 Scamp 440 Build
While the Paint was ok it was far from good, being that it was repainted most likely 15 years ago the paint on the fender tops, hood and trunk lid are all faded and more of a dull grey than the blue A4 light gunmetal grey so while taking night classes at my local community college I took the auto body classes to get experience with sanding and painting, while I no longer have access to the paint booths I'm going to attempt to paint the car myself at home and make a makeshift paint booth. Because I want the panels to be as straight as possible it has taken some time to get the front clip just right. The Engine bay's paint still looks new I'm going to get it color matched but leave it alone. So until the motor is in the car I'm going to keep doing the rest of the car on hold.
Filled in the badge holes to be replaced with Scamp decals
Passenger fender while wet with primer turns out it was a replacement fender from a Valiant
Love the look of the dual scoops so added it before doing bodywork, the forums were a huge help in finding the location for the holes
Hood after priming it
Passenger door after sanding down guide coat
Filler applied and block sanded
