ok so we have a few progress pics.

once we took the paint off this area, (i dont know if kevin did this bodywork or not, but it wasnt the greatest)we found some "bondo" style brand bondo, over an inproperly preped surface, so our shop manager butch worked his magic on this and a few other areas that needed a bit of work. (we have been down a bodyman due to the flu the past couple days..lol luckily our shop manager has 25+ yrs bodywork experience. wink.gif )

old filler stripped of, and preped.

after a coat of filler, a bit of shaping and a coat of evercoat (finishing putty) its ready to be blocked and primed.

bumper off is the only way to paint the 6gc. this is a spot where you can normally save a little bit of money by removing and reinstalling this kind of stuff, doorhandles, lights ect yourself, keith decided to let us do it.

filled, ready to block and prime

tails out and wing holes:

overall, other than the passanger side damage, and small dent up on the passanger fender, the car is in pretty clean shape, a few small door dings on the passanger side, i could only find one on the drivers side.

we finished sanding the car in the afternoon (pics of that tommorow)
tommorow, it will be finish preped, masked, and painted.
more pics to come!
