Slow progress lately. I did do more grinding and then removed 1 headlight. I did buy a fender from Garold that is near perfect and a factory replacement that Glenn and Garold cut off a parts car for me
To replace the Hodge podge passenger fender.. This will make it much nicer.

Bought some metal etch to apply in a few areas..

Coming along now.. Attached Image

Dug out the decklid as I start to head into the bodywork stages.
Also hammered out all the welds on the flares and then applied a very thin coat of the kevlar reinforced water impermeable filler about 1/16" thick on all the seems inside and out of the flares. Attached Image

Super busy lately but spent some time hammering out the body as close as possible to be within max thickness of 1/16" filler. Then spread the kevlar reinforced filler to ensure no pin holes then sanded all the seams and applied some evercoat filler, cured and then I use a large bastard file to cut down the filler close. I will next sand a little bit and apply another thin coat of filler.. This is a nice way to ensure a nice straight blend..

Mark Epstein sent me some goodies including a nice porsche badge for the rear panel ala GT.

Also got my sons 944 running this weekend and making progress on all fronts..

A few pictures. Went wide on the band of filler to make sure it fills evenly. Attached Image

Push through the majority of the underside so I could get the primer on yesterday.. Turned out pretty good. Now it will be to get the top side done and back to bed liner underneath..Attached Image

Sanded and prepped the exterior .. Will prime tonight. Yes there is a skim coat of filler.. Its not 1/2" thick so don't worry. The plan is to prime and let all the body work sit for a year or so.. This will allow any shrinking to happen over that period(winters are particularly hard on that) .. Once this is all primed the work doesnt stop still have the frunk to work with. Attached Image

Are you going to spray with it on the rotisserie? I'm starting to try to envision the logistics involved when my car gets to this stage. I still have a month or so to watch yours and see how it's done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Yup gonna do the rotisserie for priming.. I still need to prep engine compartment and frunk.. Trying to prime manageable chunks..

I want it rolling this summer.. Underside is gonna get the bed liner before too long.

Tape off all the places that you will mount parts to before you do the bed liner. This is especially important where there’s nuts welded in for the suspension. You can cut and peal the liner off when its dry, but it’s easier to do it when its been taped off first. Are you doing the engine bay too?

Thats good advice.. I will do that for sure..

Engine bay I am undecided.. It would be nice to keep it uniform.. But at the same time gloss paint makes it nice too

Gloss is much easier to clean than a textured finish. I’ve read of guys using a single coat of clear to make the bed liner easier to clean.

Another good idea.. Proper prep would be a must..
