Default Progress so far......

I'll post some pictures in a few minutes, but yesterday, I got all the shaping done on the front end. The previous owner filled the seam and sanded a little too much fiberglass off. There were a couple spots that had to be filled back in. It's pretty fluid now, though. I also fixed a few bad spots here and there on the car. It should be masked and primered today, and hopefully some color will go down tomorrow.

.....and then the color. This thing is really sinister looking in black. Especially with the front seam filled on the nose.










It has a good amount of dirt in the paint, but I laid it on thick enough to buff out. It should look really nice when it's all back together.
