Vacation Build Part 2

Not a lot exciting to see. All the seams where the body molds were bolted together have now been sanded flat reveling the high and low spots between the panels that need to be filled.

My New Favorite Tool

Family life has been pretty busy lately so not much has happened with the coupe until now. I still have quite a bit of vacation time left this year so I took a week with the intention of grinding out a bunch of work on the car. Day one involved completing the body mount points, opening up the rest of the body cutouts and installing the headlight buckets and turn signals.

Day 2 we assembled the side windows in their frames and trimmed the doors so the frames fit. Now bodywork begins in earnest.

We discovered the depth of the bonnet on the drivers side was about 1/4 too deep so we cut the lower section off cut a wedge out of it and fiber glassed it back in place.

Tomorrow will be a family day so the plan for Thursday is to begin grinding the seams and applying Rage Gold body filler.
