I need to find one of these to go back on the car.

well starting to turn the corner and get a little closer on this thing. yesterday was drivers door day. looked better than what it was after the paint was off from it. had my helper with me. Was Wyatt's first time with a paint gun.

beautiful

Thanks for the Detailed Pictures Jim. it is helping me to identify some things and to pay more attention to detail on my project.

I totally agree. It takes a lot of patience and commitment to get a car properly prepped for paint. I have forgotten the work involved in bodywork. Its been a long time since I have done anything like this. My advice is to be sure that you know what you are getting yourself into and take...

I skim coated the whole panel. I got tired of putting it on and grinding it off only to find another low spot. worked out a lot better and saved a ton of blocking and material i think. the drivers side will go a lot faster.

Well Made some progress but, its going slow. finally got the right side down to 220 and starting on the left side. getting body lines straight is not an easy task.

I am soon approaching the time to paint my Duster. If I may ask what was your initial decision to go with the single stage? I will not be going with a metallic as I am going FJ5 with my car. I am still trying to decide what I should go with for paint brand and also if I should attempt to...

I have been watching his vid. a lot of good info.

update: I found a couple doors and got them for a good price actually 4 of them. but the 70-72 door that I got was worse than the door that I had. the guy gave me a set of 73-76 doors with the deal. and I used the bottom of the passenger door to repair my original door. other than a little...

Rebuilt the door hinges that was a pretty easy little job. got the doors rehung and nicely adjusted so I could finalize my work on the quarter panels. .... Whew! that took some effort to get the gaps nice on them. Wyatt and I worked on them for quite awhile. BTW.... Wyatt is my 17 year old...

I picked it up from AMD. It was just the lower rear.

Whew! blocking panels and getting them straight is not for the faint of heart. but i think I am getting close. Center body line is straight and I can now finish out the panel from there. was too dumb to take some measurements off from the other side for placement of the body style lines...

following! :D eagerly awaiting progress updates! good luck.

thanks Tad. back in the old days I used to help my dad paint cars in the back yard and actually some of those paint jobs didnt turn out too bad.

More progress. with the car being tubbed the center body line was gone mid panel. had to do the tape trick to get it back. now I am getting started on the top. LOL when I looked at the car before I started I said.... "oh this car is pretty straight I just need to block it out and fix a...

I think I have been watching them over and over. I want to do the best that I can by the car and make it look respectable. I dont understand all of this 2k this and epoxy that..... and if I should seal the car up with epoxy and then start the rest of the finish work or, if I should grind all...

Worked on the Right side quarter some last night..... I can see that I am going to have a lot of time invested in block sanding :) has anyone had any experience with the Eastwood surfacer primer? also I have some older bodywork that is very solid on the car is it ok to just prep the old...

I have had this Duster for a couple years and I am finally getting started on it. I have done a few small things here and there and got it running and driving for the first time in 20 years. now it is time get it taken back apart and give her the make over she deserves.

Wow! wonderful work documenting your build. and a father and daughter build at that. the car turned out beautiful and, you and a lot of the FABO people following offered up some great tech and advise. I struggle to get my Son out to the garage with me to work on mine ( 70 Duster ) he is...
