WOW, been over two months since my last update!! Let's see if I can bring everything up to date....
In mid August, I popped into the bodyshop and Eric had started repairing the underside of the hood nose where it had been banged out of shape for clearance of something in the past as well as along the side rails of the hood....
When I stopped the following Saturday to replace the leaking fuel line, he was prepping the underside to prime so he could flip it over and start removing the mess of filler the previous shop had gobbed onto the top side for whatever reason (the hood wasn't really that bad prior to them working out some palm depressions along the nose of the hood???). He sent me pictures later that afternoon showing the hood prepped and primed...
Then I had a month long hiatus due to having a detached retina repaired. Once I was cleared by my eye doctor after two weeks to slowly resume some activities (but NO driving until the gas bubble they put in my eye to hold the retina in place), in mid September, I got some pics from Eric at the bodyshop showing me he had to top side of the hood now worked into shape, prepped and primed...
He was also going over the body again to do a bit more finessing to get it "more perfect"! LOL
The first of October I was finally cleared to drive again, so that Saturday, I went to the shop to see how the ole girl was doing first hand and Eric was doing another blocking of the body and doors to get her ready for a final coat of primer on Sunday. The front fenders and hood had already been final primed for assembly and final long blocking.
Body final primed....
Yesterday, Saturday the 8th, I dropped off the headlight buckets and header panel so Eric could work them along with the deck lid and fuel door and once they are ready, all the sheetmetal should be ready for assembly and paint!
Still a few things that need done before that happens (doors and trunk shot with Lizard Skin and then the door internal parts assembled, etc) but hopefully won't be that much longer!!
Stay tuned....
ZEBRA 3 OUT
