Alright Just Got Back From Day 2 of the body work build up the sun couldnt beat any stronger this morning :???: Neway Got SOme Wet Sanding done on the quaters then noticed the body line went down and up in a spot so we had to go all the way back to step 1 only on the spot thou so it wasnt too bad then we took cook care of my roof dents the dent on my driver side and the two on my hood So now that its all ready to go , I gotta wait to get paid to get the clear coat and paint for the car till then just minor tweaks to the body as i go along . Ill post pictures up in a few my cameras too dead to turn on

Alright so,I wasnt really up for taking pictures on sunday more a less just wanted to get done this work so ,I only snaped a few rest of my dents are gone the two i had on my hood the one on my driver side and the few on my roof all done now as for the passenger side like ,I said a little more metal glazing and sanding in oder to get the body line perfect.


CHANGE OF MIND ON THE PAINT NIGHT HAWK BLACK PEARL JUST TOO EXPENSIVE FOR My BUDGET Somehow Championship white turns out to be a little more cheaper so were going with that !!




RooF Dents GONE :-) ! Super pleased!



Driver side was mega easy only took us 10 minutes to get that little guy perfect,Now if we could only get the passenger side to comply with us already lol.



Hood Dents Are Gone All Smooth Agian!!



Like i said befor the body line dip in and comes back out so ,I got a little more work to do on the passenger side but ,I got two weeks befor my clear coat and paint arrives so we got some time to make this thing work.
