Eh, got bored.

I spent the last week or so working on installing my door poppers.. like 1 hour a night, haha, not much free time. Finally got them all in today, so it was time to get to work. First real go with my new welder.. first time doing welding on a car's body.. so much to go wrong //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

just a solenoid, no big.

Chopped up my old door for fillers:

ew

then the hardest part.. grinding into the old paint //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

a few tacks... gettin the settings dialed in and stuff (never used this welder for more than a few practice beads yet)

tacks on the front.. I think I got the technique pretty much down, hoorah!

That's as far as I got tonight.. both passenger doors have a good number of tacks, and the reflection in the paint doesn't look like it's warped yet, so fingers crossed!

all done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ... until my All Metal body filler shows up here... then it's time to get smoooooth.

Alright.. got antsy today and wanted to do work.. but no filler yet and didn't feel like starting sanding the rest of the car, so I pulled off the side moldings.

The plan was just to pull them off to do the paint right.. but should I just weld the holes shut and smooth it out and leave em off?? I'm kind of diggin the idea.

Then I got this wild hair... how would Aurora mirrors look if I close up the spots for the stock mirrors?

I need opinions, so that way I don't go do something stupid, lol.

Ehhh

Got the trim holes shaved on one side today, and started slinging some All Metal body filler that came in the mail today. Using that stuff to do the majority of the filling/ building shape... then gonna bust out the Rage Gold regular filler and board-plain to make sure everything is wave free (fingers crossed). All Metal's a SOB to sand though..! Regardless.. the goal is to get the driver's side bodywork all finished tomorrow.

there used to be holes here //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dustyy

Not so great at slinging it perfectly

Sanded the handles.. but not the bottom yet.

Should I flake it up like this???

Always thought about doing it... I'm just not sure //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/ponder.gif.ec2527b23f1d287b60dcbba54f95edba.gif

That might be a little overboard... Im not sure though. Any better pics?

 

[jonathan demuth]

Absolutly not. The blue is perfect. You want some real portholes for your fenders? (yours look like stick on ones, please correct me if im wrong)

those little air vents on each side of the car completely ruin everything.
