Stupid Camera Phone
I keep forgetting to take my camera to school, so I'm stuck using my stupid camera on my phone. Finally, the car's starting to look decent, the driver side from fender to quarter panel is all in primer, next stop, rear panel and I think I'm going to weld up all the emblem holes and go with no emblems.
The sill didn't have a whole lot of damage, only a small patch towards the front, that I welded up at home, a few lows that were pulled and as always, a little bit of filler.
My instructor wasn't very happy with the way the door was turning out, so he layed out some polyester filler on the door and sanded the whole thing down for me. Showed the class on how to use the air file, and how to straighten out a panel using only air tools. I actually learned a few things that day!
After the door was worked, took it into the spray booth and bomed some high build primer on the sucker, I should have checked the spray pattern before I layed out the primer, I really messed up the bottom of the door, but it's only primer so it should all sand out, just more work for me.
This past weekend, I stripped the back left 1/4 panel, and to my surprise, that's the cleanest pannel on my car so far, only a small section was rotted, so I had to make a patch about 2" square
Picture of the stripped panel
The great thing about a straight panel, is that I don't have to go and mess about with the body lines.
Finally a picture of the panel primered. It's actually looking really decent. Now on to the rest of the car!
