72 duster Build progress
been plugging away at the duster ....coming home every night looking like I got into a fight with a bottle of baby powder LOL. its been alot of rough work with all this sanding but I am glad to say it is all down to metal now pretty much!.
most of the body work is done now to. now I just need to come through and sand a little on some filler and maybe a couple touch ups but otherwise its looking like primer is soon!. maybe not before the weekend is over because of the crappy weather and because its taken a little longer to get to this point than i originally was thinking. but for sure soon!.
also....while I was standing there sanding earlier I looked over and noticed that I really didnt think the antenna was going to look good on the car....I want a clean sleek look. so I removed the antenna and made a patch panel and welded it in place and ground it down and smoothed it off with filler. will make for a much better look and only took me a few minutes to do and now was as good a time as ever to make it happen. I am just going to install a under dash antenna booster to get radio reception.
progress folks.....stayed tuned because there is more to come.
this ones from a day or 2 ago and has since came even further along.I just figured id post it so you can see how the patches came out that I put in that quarter
I forgot to take pictured during the welding of the patch but I took a quick picture right after applying some filler to give you guys an idea of what it looks like.
anyhow. thats the latest. ill update you all again when more progress is made!
