| Bondo dust everywhere....
Notice the professional style air cleaner plugs in those dual snorkels? The ready for sealer hood is behind the car on the left. |
The underside of the hood is done.
Another look after the sealer has been applied. Look over to the right and you can see my brother's next project car. It's a 32 Plymouth Coupe with a rumble seat! |
Hours and hours of blocking the sealer and bondo till the body lines are straight. This is something that I could not seem to muster. If you dig in, then you end up with a rut. Often, we would spray a little black paint on the sealer and then check for high spots by blocking and seeing if any paint remained. |

| The car is now in the paint room and Jack (who really got the project going again) is taping and masking. | Before the hood was put on, we had to protect the engine compartment with this chunk of plastic sheeting. | Looks like the sealer has been applied to the entire car in this shot.
Next comes a full coat of primer. Many long hours away from the blue base coat. |

| The sealer was yellow and the primer was grey. | Rear view.
Note those cool tire/wheel covers! |
Primer is done.
Next step was more sanding and blocking. Always finding new spots to correct. |
