With the bulkhead completed its time to address the tail light panel.
Lots of owees.  Looks like some one made an attempt to remove the tow hook. Or its a half ass attempt to remove the stress from collision damage.  Plus it looks like it was backed over something. That corner already has been patched.  |

But in order to work on the tail light panel it has to come off the rotisserie.
  But on a positive note, like I mentioned on Instagram. The chassis dolly is actually our old chassis jig converted into a dolly. Other than a couple taps with a hammer it bolted straight in. So from the trailing arm mounts to the rear steering rack she's 5 * 5. Another shot of the panel. Mark has a used one that I'll attempt to use after its stripped.  Surgery center all set up for my return in a couple weeks. Vacation with wife. 8 day commitment at Rothsport   |

Last couple issues before it heads home or to the body shop for mud and paint.
 Trunk for too bad. It has some PO cuts and holes that can be patched or filled. But the left side of the tail light looks like it was beaten too death. In the essence of time I only cut out the beat to death section.   Out it came and in in went ................     Not quite that easy. But you get the gist of it. A lot of measure 10 times, cut once. Then blip, blip, blip. Donor piece has had some love in the past but should be ok. |

Making some progress.
we used tint-able truck bead liner and made it the color of the car. shot it and let it cure for about 12 weeks (no intentionally, just didn't have time and the weather to press on. Taylor was sanding and prepping the rest of the shell for the epoxy primer we shot today. Did make a few mistakes. Realized we needed seam sealer in a few places is the big one. That and a little learning curve with the gun, but we have sand paper.... lots of sandpaper. Plan to shoot the interior, windshield area, and the engine compartment so we can begin putting the engine, suspension and interior back in. Will shoot the rest onece most of the assembly work is done. Attached image(s)

Looking good there....
I was actually up at Timberline lodge with the wife and twins today (Feb 19), but the weather was identical to you pic. 25F up there and sunny. Fun day. Nice to be able to drive there from our house in just under an hour. |

Taylor laid some paint down in the areas that he needs to reassemble and will not be accessible once stuff is in.
The fun is about to start. Attached image(s)
