Update #21
« on: February 27, 2006, 03:34:22 PM »
Well it's been a while since the last update. Bodywork is one of my least favorite things to do, the main reason is i'm not very good at it and it makes a huge mess.
 If you have come by the shop lately and been overcome by the smell of Bondo i'm sorry.....But it's the smell of progress!

I went to the Puyallup Hot Rod swap a few weeks ago and found a few of the last parts needed to finish off the car. As well many parts have shown up in the mail, I don't know what I'd do without Ebay, The Samba and others :unsure:

Ok onto the fist pic's.


This is where I left off, I was just starting on some body work (month or so ago)

This shot is of the rear apron and mini fenders, a lot of work went into this area and it's still a little rough.







Above, Bus tail lights getting a test fit.



Starting to mud up the rear cowel.
















The pic's make it look a little better than it is, It's just roughed in. There will be a lot more work needed to get it looking right.





Onto the front wheel well's and dash








Then the 36 Ford "Football" mirror
Had to make a mount for it.




Thats about it! I'm covered in dust and I see a end to it, not for a long time! As of now most of the rough bodywork is done, now it's time to try and make things a little smoother. :unsure:
