Body work is coming along. But the more I work on the body, the more I feel like its fine. Right now I'm ready to leave dents, with an it's going to look fine attitude. It's not gona be perfect. I know it's not. Please, O please, don't tell lil Danny. Ha Ha. Thinking about painting the hood black. With all that real estate, I have to do somthing to brake up that orange. I did call Jeff at Kendy American , and got a black stripe kit. It's the bulbous C stripe. I think it's from the 72 but will make my 74 look cool.

Well, I got the sealer coming. That doesn't mean the body is done, but I'm finished. Didn't fix the hail damage on the roof... Just sprayed it down with high build primer, and blocked it out. I will try to shoot it this weekend. It's not too bad. Good nuff 4 me.

At least you can work year-round. Out here, I'm SOL for auto work for about 6 months a year. 'Cause I'm a puss, and hate to work in the cold.

The color is comp red. I like it cuz its not red, its orange. Cant wait to get her out in the sun light. But she will really start looking good when I get the grill, and bumpers on. I only just started working on the hood. Thanks again for letting me have it, and to the X-code for bringing it to me. After the hood goes on I will need to do a stripe. Its a toss up now between the 74 side stripes, or a T stripe.

Ok, i actually payed for the T stripe thats it. No more guessing. Got the tail painted with some leftover black my bud had at his shop. He puts it on big rig hoods to keep the glare off the drivers. He says it will go more flat as it dries. I HOPE SO. I realy liked the black I put on it before. HEY TWOTONE, Check out your old hood. NICE>>>>>X
