Doing filler work and rough block sanding. Will coat with another layer of spray filler soon for for hopefully final block sanding. Black dots identify small areas needing a dab of filler.
What was your process for getting to this stage? I know nothing about body work, but wanting to learn.Doing filler work and rough block sanding. Will coat with another layer of spray filler soon for for hopefully final block sanding. Black dots identify small areas needing a dab of filler.

A whole lot of metal work to get it where the car sits now. I used chemical stripper to remove paint from everything but the new metal and them sprayed a 2k epoxy grey primer to keep it protected. There are some good posts on how to do bodywork and Google videos. I have already painted the engine compartment and trunk. I am really a newbie myself so I hate to give much "advice" as there are some real pros on this site.
Great to see some one bring back a classic! Nothing like cutting the complete back half of a car and putting it back together, Great job!!!Thanks! I've been searching online through forums and videos to try to learn different methods. Seems like chemical stripper is the easiest. I have a buddy that does soda blasting, but since I'm keeping the inter installed for this particular car, that's not really an option.
Thanks, many Trans Am cars used these back in the day.so true block sand and more block sanding I like your wheels
I like the wheels too!! Lots of blocking and guide coats,If you have small imperfections a good high build primer will work great for those areas and when you block it will fill those in ! Good luck with your work! I like it! RayThanks, many Trans Am cars used these back in the day.
I am really trying to find all the imperfections now and not rely on the high build primer, but I realize that is kind of what the build up primer is for. If I see an imperfection now, I am fixing it.I like the wheels too!!
