Started wetsanding the flares-pics-painted
well i started wetsanding this morning,the last coat of clear i wasnt feeling to good(not breathing too good),so i put it on dry and got out of the garage,that glasurit clear is nasty stuff.So i have alot of sanding to do,but i got both quarters,ttops sanded .Overall i think it matchs pretty good,itll be fine for those weekend cruises,its no way a show car and never will be,but its a great cruising car.This winter im stripping it down anyway for a complete repaint with some custom touchs.
First two pictures show how close the color is,compared to the door and the quarter,third picture is after i wetsanded the quarter ,im really happy with the body work.For a mechanic i think it came out pretty good.:D Now i need to order the sidepipes and rims and tires.
