72 duster Build progress
Sorry I didnt upload pictures right away guys. Ive been really busy. like I said.....not different "looking" in the pictures. but its coming along. rough body work is coming to a close. once its done I am going to prime the duster and then I get to do a whole lot of block sanding! YAY! lol.....id rather block sand primer though....atleast its alot easier on ya physically than tapping metal and using filler and file boards and sanders and going through tons of materials. sanding primer I don't mind just cranking the tunes up and walking around dialing the body in. in case you cant tell, im ready to get past this stage of the project lol....primer is close ....which means paint isnt far off either! I am hoping to have it a basically done car by summer.
again....these pictures are from during the work I was doing and not the final product. I skim coated pretty much both entire quarters with filler and sanded them down smooth....to get the panels nice and flat for one and to bring definition back to the body lines ....between where my welds were and 40 years worth of shopping cart dings and what not I didnt expect the panels to be scuff and squirt ready. they probably would have been good enough days ago but I continually find myself finding something i don't 100% like and keep working on them lol. picky maybe......but your paint only looks as good as the body work so I may aswell do it right.
