Finally a little progress !!

Since I've been working at a small bodyshop and since it's been a little slow this week, I've been able to work on some of my bird parts. Here's some pics of the front fenders and header panel so far.

Looking very familiar 1BadBird. I never even looked at the backs of my fenders, except to get rid of any rust. I intend to hit them with some gooey undercoat stuff I have. It's kinda like Waxoil if you are familiar with that.

It'll be nice to sit back and watch you and Vinnie work while I relax!  (Not quite yet, though.)

Anyway, looking good, guy!

I plan on using a spray-on bedliner on the inside of the fenders. Nope, not familiar with that stuff. I thought of using that stuff from duplicolor with kevlar or U-Pols Raptor stuff.
