No more big scratch/dent!! flawless once again! (that mark is where the body line got sanded to bare metal, its not a scratch)
Today we did a little sanding on the cowl. and that was it.
the exterior rust is 90% fixed. Still have to remake half the edges around the windows. Fix a little more in the center of the hood. and that should be it. Then we are going to start on the interior/floor and the roof. I think tomorrow were going to pressure wash everything and burn all that paint off. Nothing like extremely hot water (that actually burnt threw my work boot one time and scortched my foot) to really clean a old rust bucket up!
Motor is getting pulled soon so we can do the engine bay. and yeah... well TONS more work to do. Ill try to take pictures more often and get some better progress pictures along the way.
For those of you wondering about the tail lights. I wired mine up finally.

If you didnt notice i had them on the wrong sides lol. So my turn signals go the wrong way... ill swap them later haha. Also the turn signals dont work propperly because my flasher is shot, and i didnt have the LED flasher installed in this video. But you get the basic idea. these are amazing tail lights, and SUPER BRIGHT. i would highly recommend them to everyone.
Again they are made by spaghetti engineering. Purchased from musclerodz.com!

Little update.
All the window trims have been remade and are rust free now, and have been coated with rust protectant.
Rust has been taken care of in the floor, and rust coated. Dynamat is coming next.
Originally the dash got painted Gloss white. In the sun this put such a glare on the windshield you could not see a DAMN thing. it was horrible. So this is the primer/rust coat. It will be flat black soon. Sorry for the blurry picture.
Roof taken care of. Dynamat coming next, and head liner going in right after!
i spent about 4 HOURS sanding in the engine bay today. But its ready to get painted now!
New headliner getting ready to go in. Probably tomorrow.
Trunk had a tiny bit of rust, put in a new plate. Hit it with the rust protectant, and then nailed it with this grey speckly trunk coating.
general shots.
Painted the underside of the hood. Almost looks brand new!
Been busting *** and really hammering this car out. Hoping to have it in the paint booth in the next WEEK!
Lots more coming very soon

Heres some updates.
Engine bay before...
After a nice pressure wash, new paint job, and some detailing, its all shinney again! (and its still not finished! theres only more going on to make it shine more!)
Cleaned up the nice old mickey thompsons, and had my sister do her fancy pin striping work on them. Not getting rid of these cherrys!
Paint Teaser Shot (Think Chamelon Paint)
im working on it NON-STOP right now. So you can expect good updates every couple days! I only got 2 months to have this thing show ready!

It was like Christmas in febuary today!! with a box that was as tall as ME!!!
The shipping company made it feel like christmas a little bit more with there ultra high tech fancy packing paper!

New grill, new rear deck with speaker cut outs! hooray! lol
New gaskets, seals, weather stripping, side mirrors, Tail light lenses. (forgot to freaking order my reverse light lenses damn it!!
New glove box, and every single interior screw, clip, bracket, and mount there is all in brand new stainless steel
I was going to paint it tomorrow morning, but i think im going to hold off till after the weekend. Going on a weekend long trip with the quads and some buddys, so i dont think i have time tomorrow to throw out some paint before i have to take off.
