Got everything blocked out in 180 today. Hood still needs a little work but should be able to get the first round of 2k high build down by the end of the month. Can't wait to be done with filler work!!

 

Thanks, fellas. Slowly but surely coming along. Can't wait to get passed the filler work though.

 

It is amazing how things take much longer than expected. Looks nice.

 

Very nice work!

 

The alignment of the hood and headlight buckets looks really good. I have seen so many cars where the trim does not align well, glad to see you are taking the time to get it all sorted out.

I am restomoding a '70 Mach 1, just years behind you.

Got some updated photos for you all. Hood is taking much longer than expected....SHOCKER!! All in all things are coming along nicely. Found the hood alignment was best without the hood hinge springs installed so we finished out the filler work without the springs installed and we'll try some different springs or modify the originals once we get to final assembly. No more talkie talkie...time for pictures!!

 

Man, low '70s look so lethal. Great progress so far!

 

Nice progress it's looking good.

 

Few more pics I found:

 

Looks really good! Glad to see an update!

 

Wow!! Been sometime since I've updated this thread. We are now doing the final work on the fender/door gaps and about to move on to the fender/hood gaps, which should hopefully go pretty quickly. Not too much longer before we can get down a couple coats of 2K on the whole car and block it out with 220 then 400. Might actually get some paint on this thing before summer!!

 

We finally got to the point where we can get the car off the rotisserie and on to the body cart. Threw the fenders and hood on last night to start aligning everything and doing final filler/2k primer work before sealing it all. Coming along nicely.

 

Looking good!

 

Very nice.

 

Great progress! Really coming together nicely!

 

Thanks! I have been following your build as well. You do excellent work!!

 

Finally to the point where we are putting on a final coat as we are using SPI black epoxy in the engine bay. We only got one coat down before we ran out of material. Did not realize how much the engine bay would take. We'll finish up the rest this weekend. Doing two more coats than some filler work and another coat or two over the filler work. Can't wait to have the engine bay completely wrapped up!!

 

Got a lot done over the past few weeks. Here are some pics:

 

Second round of 2K with 400 dry.

 

Update: laid down some 2K primer and blocked with 220.

 

All of your choices sound really good, I'm sure it's a hard decision.

 

It's looking really good. What is the color of the car going to be?

 

Undecided at this point. Possibly black, Grabber Blue(2012 Mustang) or even a dark forest green metallic. Leaning towards SPI's single stage black black, right now. Yes. It's called "black black" because it is so "rich"...for lack of a better term.

 

Looks real good!

 

Thanks! Finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel!!

Wait?! Is that a train??!!

 

Last round of pics...for now!!

Finally had time over the last few months to do some body work. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:
