I´ve done something...

Right fender is finished. Painted with spray can. That large CB-antenna hole is gone and it has a place for an original AMC antenna.



Door openings got some TLC...

Drivers side wasn´t so bad, but there were nasty rust spot above the rearwheel...



New paint and almost finished.



Right side had rusted and needed a lot of work to look like this...



And .. finished...

That's what I like about black. Black -is black, is black, is black etc.   Try matching any other color that way!   I like what ol' Henry Ford said:  "you can have any color, as long as it's black".

Last week I did some rustremoval and bondo job...

There were a couple of nasty rust spots that had to be taken care of...



After welding driverside fender I just brush painted it. But I couln´t leave it like that. So all  paint was removed and then bondo and heavy sanding and primer....



This corner is already finished.
