Only got to work on like an hour and a half before stopping to tidy up. That roof sure lays better if it is underneath the quarters.

I was ready to hang the left door but at the bottom rear I previously had trimmed it to clear the apron and only had one tack on it. So before it goes back on-   Flip!   Thats ready to hang now. While that cooled, I was putting the left fender on and messing with trunk gaps. Quarters and window and tail panels are tacked together, roof support frame is sitting in place. I can tell whoever designed this kit that I'm slapping together must have put some thought into it.

  Did that planishing-  This wasn't quite enough sealer, we'll have to get a nozzle to it from the inside for the rest-  Its on-  And its "on"-  Like Donkey Kong.  Rear fender bolt reinforcements and upper door jambs in epoxy- Almost forgot the roof skin reinf framework but its over there now, with other please epoxy stuffs. Yonder is the Cat with a couple new things to gawk at. Tank top sits 3" above the floor pan. For the record, I offered to build it 3" higher but no he wants a Pinto. It just barely sticks down past the frame.

Obviously, I have done no post-welding planishing. That right side needs some at top. Left quarter and back window panel were the only things that got epoxy yesterday. We were short on catalyst. I tried again with fresh patience yesterday, to get Mike to bring out components he wishes to locate in the firewall area... safe to say that will never happen. So I need to halffass the cowl bad enough that it won't hurt my feels when the firewall gets cut out. Taking the quickest path to roof. |

 Footloose is enjoying the Lex Luther job less. It got primer today.It is fun going together for good. As long as I didn't leave myself messes that I forgot about, this should go smooth. At least right up until the roof insert.

   Left quarter did not get primer priority today so I will go at the cowl area next.  Currently fixing shaggy bottom corners of the rear window panel. What an eyesore those have been all this time!

We need a model to go with that aaaayyyy! Right quarter was obviously dropped (bottom front) but here it is-   Thats on with screws but for keeps-  Left tub weld all smoothed out-    Left drip rail welded. About to sand it and hand it... to the painter for epoxy. Gave him the trunk bulkhead and board brkts also, while the getting is good.

Alright, Bucko.  Happy days are here again. All weld, all afternoon. Ah, how pleasant.  Heres the right quarter with the rattle can stuff knocked off. I had forgotten to weld the tub inner flange on but that just took a few minutes. Painter got epoxy on it which you'll see later. Hoping he did inside and out-    Left tub and flange welded-    Mo' muddy-  Mike got his mind around that gas tank... they just made it a little differently than he anticipated. Next thing you know, there'll be a soupity sounding Pontiac engine thumping around the buildings.  Mmm, Pontiaction.

       This needs a lot more mud than I see here-  Pantera guy sure is happy-     Mike isn't as happy. Says they lost his pattern and the Catalina tank is all wrong-  Pretty though, ain't it?  Heres a truck we flamed on a long time ago that I always take a pic of.  Somebody else is going to get epoxy on that Model A right quarter and I am about to start on the left. The right is ready to install after epoxy. |
