Hey guys i just heard about this site a while back and figured my first post would be the start of my project. Here is how the car started, of course it looks better in these pics than it actually does. Ill get some work in progress pics tonight when i get to the shop later this afternoon. What a great site for A-bodies, it can be so hard to find info on these cars. Ill be hitting the for sale forums soon because im gonna need lots of stuff.

Thanks for a great site, Dustin

Here are the updates, have been taking each body piece one at a time, sanding, stripping, fiberglass, filler, metal glaze, and 3 to 4 coats of high build primer with a guide coat. My plan is to get all pieces done like this,then hand block the entire car, fix any spots i missed (im sure there will be a couple) prime again,and then water sand the entire car. By then she should be ready for a sealer coat. Wish me luck..

Thanks, Dustin
