man, if you weren't in NC and I had more time on my hands I'd stop over to help with what I can help with. I'm jealous with all this progress you are making. I thought my $4,100 tax return was going towards the car and boat but it went right back into the house. Go figure. I need to sell all sorts of stuff I hoarded in my garage

Weekend of March 19th 2011 was a great weekend. We were able to get the car over to the media blaster and had the roof (outside), windshield pillars and the left sail panel down to the body line blasted and in epoxy primer. Did get a ruff coat of all metal on the roof joints and weld some small patchs, all before the primer went on. I had to work fast because I was afraid that the raw metal would rust up in the humidity. All the stars aligned and it took well. Really excited to move on further. I hope yall enjoy the photos. Also added some to my last post on the previous page. PEACE!

Man I wish that mine had looked that good after the media blasting. Great pics.....Looking good.

Thank you all for responding. The weather here is great and I am out of work today (Thursday) at 10:30a and off Friday. Going to have lunch today with the miss'es then jump on the Chevelle for a long weekend of productivity. Lots more work ahead. Cant wait to drive the dang thing.
Everybody enjoy your weekend.

Weekend of March26-27 2011 I didnt get as much done as I ws expecting. The temps were in the low 40's and it was overcast most the time. And drizzling off and on. I was able to do the first block sanding on the left quarter panel and sail panel. Its not pretty. Lots of low spots to fill. Then I drilled some access holes to the body mount nuts. Soaked them down with PB blaster. Hopefully I will get more done next weekend. Its going to be tough to get pictures posted up. My laptop accidently got smashed on the coffee table.

I have been making progress on the project. I do have pictures. Just need to figure out the best way to upload them and get them posted. Worked on blocking out the left side of the car. Also worked on the floors. Hopefully getting to the body shop for paint May 2. I have all of next week off. At least the front end is all new sheeltmeatl. But that may be a chore fitting. Wish me luck

Been working on the car, Still have not gotten my computer issue squared away. I do have lots of pictures on my camera. The floors and trunk are done. I have put POR15 on everything inside, top to bottom. The firewall looks great. Just need to get the right rear quarter panel sandblasted. Then I can do the bodywork on it. The front fenders and hood are new. Hopefully they will line up relativly easy and I can get this thing to paint.

I had to work this past Saturday so I didnt get anything done. Sunday I was doing some finish body work on the trunk pan and my compressor threw a rod. So close but yet so far. Stillneed to get the right side rocker and quarted panle blasted.

Got a couple pics off the camera. Cant believe I dont have one of the firewall. It looks great.
