The internet is great. I can sit in a chair and shop for my paint supplies and they show up at my door. The only problem is besides work and my wife going to get supplies is my only human contact at this point. :lol:

Well I had just a few small fabrication jobs to take care of. I did not like the fit of the rear of the trunk lid to the tail panel so I cut the back of the trunk lid off and replaced it with a piece that blended out a little better. I also reworked the top of the tail panel to even out the seam. I had to make some transition pieces from the inner sill plate to blend into the 06 kick panels. I also filled in the signal lights on the hood. Since I am not going to run active signals I did not see the point in putting in the dummy pieces.  It took me a while to move the car into my home made  paint booth and I found out that I will have to build a 3 foot bump out to be able to work around the car with the nose on it . What's one more project? :shruggy:
Time to sling some bondo. :yesnod:

Steve , you just made me think of something I'll throw out there for You to consider.  Whenever i do one of these care I buy a sacrificial trunk seal. The seal tends to totally change the way the deck lid fits . Especially the front part.

Do all the body work with the panel on and the seal installed . You will be glad yo did.

I was kind of wondering about that. The trunk lid seems awfully prone to deformation.  Thank you.I will follow your advice for sure.

Agree on the epic....... :yesnod:

Epic? I don't know about that but thanks for the compliments.


Well it's a dirty job but it feels good after staring at this car in bare metal for so long to be finally mudding in the transitions.   :coolgleamA:

Nothing really exciting to report here. Just bondo work. I needed a little inspiration so I mounted the wing to make sure there was a good fit to the quarter tops.
I also had to stop and deal with something that I had been kicking down the road. Turns out the Dodge Daytona is a very long car  :shruggy: so I had to add a 3 foot bump out to my makeshift spraybooth. I had also been putting off working on finishing the closeout doors but the Bondo is everywhere now so I had to stop working on the car and get this handled.

Stevearino,

What's your ride height from the ground to the bottom of your rocker panels? And are you doing any rake or just level?
