I personally like what you have done already. I think the panel side actually looks better and gives that window a real nice line. I'm not oppossed to the rear window either, just like the panel more. I also like what you did to the front wheel opening and the nose but I was wondering if the fenders still flowed into the motor compartment when you open the hood? I thought that was real cool, lookin great tho, keep it up

Thanks Jason! no fender flowing down any more ,but I will put something there.

I used the rear wheel tubs up front and got a firewall in,and the engine is fitted.

I got the hood fitting good and added a peak down the center and under the rear window.

Got it sitting on all four.

I starting to get there!

The new inner wells came out looking real nice. Btw, that tail light treatment is freakin' killer, probably my favorite feature of your build so far. Keep it up

Why is my primer still sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is my primer still sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you using enamel? I use a dehydrator with enamels, it speeds things up a bit.

I use Dupli Color Laquer Primers & Filler/Primers from the Auto Supply Store. They always air dry Fast!

[crazyjim]

Plastikote and/or Duplicolor dry pretty quick. I can prime and sand the same day with no dehydrator in Florida.

[my80malibu]

Ira maybe you got a bad batch. of primer I use that brand but never had to wait more than two days for it to dry

[Road Runner 79]

I always use plastikote white and can sand in a hour or so but not today.

[Road Runner 79]
