Thanks brooks,I was in the same boat The prices on 67/68 fastbacks have skyrocketed in the past 10 years or so. So I decided I would get one now while I can still afford done, even if it isn’t done. They just get tougher and tougher to find every year, and prices go up. ---

I stripped the drivers door, once again its perfect with no bondo. ![http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3428/img2294o.jpg](http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/3428/img2294o.jpg) I also stripped the inside of the pass door that is exposed once the door panel is on, it has a texture to it so I couldn’t sand it like I could all of the outside. ![http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5290/img2293c.jpg](http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5290/img2293c.jpg) ---

I got most of the front fender stripped, I’m holding off on the bottom because I have to take the fender down to the bodyshop and weld the emblem holes shut. ![http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3995/img2297d.jpg](http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/3995/img2297d.jpg) ![http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8162/img2299z.jpg](http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8162/img2299z.jpg) ---
