Well it's been a while since the last update. Bodywork is one of my least favorite things to do, the main reason is i'm not very good at it and it makes a huge mess.
If you have come by the shop lately and been overcome by the smell of Bondo i'm sorry.....But it's the smell of progress!
I went to the Puyallup Hot Rod swap a few weeks ago and found a few of the last parts needed to finish off the car. As well many parts have shown up in the mail, I don't know what I'd do without Ebay, The Samba and others :unsure:
Ok onto the fist pic's.

This is where I left off, I was just starting on some body work (month or so ago)
This shot is of the rear apron and mini fenders, a lot of work went into this area and it's still a little rough.

The pic's make it look a little better than it is, It's just roughed in. There will be a lot more work needed to get it looking right.

Thats about it! I'm covered in dust and I see a end to it, not for a long time! As of now most of the rough bodywork is done, now it's time to try and make things a little smoother. :unsure:
