Project- Bills Buggy
Howdy gang.. Just thought I'd update the buggy project thread a little.. Things have been crazy and I havent been able to work on the car as much as I would like.. But I am still continuing to make progress. I am down to the last couple areas of finish body work.. The biggest pain in the *** being that passenger side fender... You know at this point I believe I would actually kill to find a decent passenger fender.. seriously... all out bloodshed for one LMAO .. They seem to be hard as hell to find, and all kinds of expensive and out of my price range if I do.. So.. we have been spending redonkulous amounts of time on the one that I have.. I will remind everyone it was hit.. and hit hard.. What we thought originally wouldnt be 'too terribly bad' to fix, has been a nightmare.. we have been chasing body lines (putting body lines back in altogether in the better part of the fender) sanding, working... etc.. just trying to get it close..
There comes a point when you just have to decide when enough is enough.. I have come to that point. What you see in the pictures is what its gonna be... Its not perfect.. (in my opinion it isnt close lol) I can find no less than 5 things wrong with it in the first 10 seconds.. LOL .. but if you go back to the first page of this thread.. to the origins of the buggy.. my goal was to build a cool looking cruiser.. a car to have fun in.. ride around and just enjoy myself.. an all out show car or trailer queen the buggy was just never meant to be.. I didnt start with best Dart to do that with, and I dont have the budget or means to pull that off...
With that being said, I decided to quit chasing this fender night after night, and leave it the way it is... as I said, I do intend to eventually locate myself a nice passenger fender.. in the meantime this one will do the trick.. Hope you guys approve of how it turned out.. I have to block it yet.. just shot the pics after I sprayed some primer on.. there is some more finish sanding that needs done yet, that I just wasnt able to see until after I got the primer on..
Let me know what you all think...
