BIG REDS wanna be Nick Cage Build thread.

I wonder why he primed the underbody but didnt paint it before putting it back together.

Its red oxide primer, thats exactly what the cars looked like when they were new.

Did a little more after work tonight.

wire wheeled/sanded all of the surface rust off the rocker/door jamb. I used a little icing on the spot welds where the quarter was welded to hide any imperfections. ignore the paper covering the wiring, I couldn’t get the masking tape in there.

Nice score on the lights

the headlights are hard to find. I got a killer deal on them too.

Go finish the body work prep and get this gem sprayed

i’m hoping to have both quarters, doors, trunk, end caps, and taillight panel all done and in primer in a week or so
