Not a fan of the sedan

after months of sitting in the garage, I took advantage of the 80 degree day and pushed out the eagle to blow off the dust.........

The black door handles look good.  I bet we will be seeing more of those.  Did you get all of the exterior rust repairs "nailed"?

I grinded and cut out all the rust I could find, then I treated it with POR 15, filled it in and bondoed over all of that.  next is primer then paint, possibly this week?

ship her out here to us, we'll get her looking sharp

I would trust driving that one out to you.  If I had any $$ and sense, I would.

that is coming together really well.  Keep up the awesome work.

I didn't have to do much body work to my eagle, but when I got all the stuff needed to get her running (remove windshield, clean and sandblast rust, putty, prime and paint, then new windshield).

when I got her to pass safety, and I could take her out for a legal drive, Man!  it made months and months of work all worthwhile.

Just keep at it.

body work is alot cheaper than you think.  Alot of people i talk to think that a paintjob is in the thousands of dollars range in reality it just depends on the color (some pigments are more expensive than others) and the type of paint that is used.  paint is probly the most expensive part of bodywork as i like to use old car hoods for any metal patch jobs (they are cheap, plentyful, and the same thickness  as body sheet metal)
