Going in for paint

[dan402]

Started out as an engine and trans swap. Cleaned up the engine bay and continued to the floor pans and wheel wells. After stripping the wheel wells I found sketchy repairs made by a previous owner. There were small pieces of metal not even riveted in and covered with bonding to hide rot in the usual areas. I replaced the portions of the inner and outer wheel houses and quarter panels that were bad. I am going with a cowl hood and the trunk lid was a couple of shades off it doesn’t make sense to blend into the fenders , quarter panels and deck lid. In for a penny, in for a pound like my dad used to say.

That's what these cars do... they suck you into the wormhole of never ending list of things to do. 😆
