Update, Mid June 2008:
Managed to get a few more things done.
Got the hood all blocked out and good, but discovered some how I missed a few small dents and need to clean those up. sigh.
Discovered how messed up my Driver's door is, and still resoving to correct one hell of a hacked up mess. It had over 3/8" of filler in places, under 4 layers of primer and paint.
I welded up the 30 or so holes in the middle of the door {cussing while I rethink about that}
Close up of a very old repair job.
I have a door I took the skin off of, but I honestly have been holding back on my decision to reskin the center of the door or one or two other repair options.
In the last week or so, I have finished all my hammer and dolly work on the front and rear roll pans; cleaned up the header panel; and sanded and cleaned up my fender end caps and NOS head light buckets.
Need to still primer the rear roll pan yet, on my to do list for tomorrow.
The wife said the neighbors are probably going to shoot me next time I have that much hammer and dolly work. BANG CLANG BANG THUD HAMMER CLANG THUD for the last week or so...
Had to fix a torn tab on the roll pan. I removed this one off my original GTS around 5-6 years ago, and it was still stuck to the roll pan all this time because the bolt and j clip were left intact on the fender. I was just happy I did not need to feb the piece of sheet metal.
Can you say hammered? I think I spent 3-4 hours on that corner alone before I was remotely happy with the contour. Atleast it was a nice mental vacation, listening to the St. Anger Metallica disc and just hammering away.
The front roll pan was crushed in 4-5 spots...the peak was messed up a bit, but I was happy to get it back to a decent shape. Spent some time welding up small cracks and tears on the mount tabs.
And, I managed to pick up a set of 15" rims that will clear my 13" rotors with a very, very minor amount of work.
Debating about using them, or sticking with the 16's, but I really want to get back into a 15" rim.
