hm...procrastination is my goal in life, and I seem to do quite well at it. I'm also good at making excuses apparently (because my dad still has his stuff laying all over the place, with no shelves, in my way lol)
well, roughly 8 hours of labour with a crappy palm sander, I have the drivers door and quarter done to the roof (except for the bottom that will have the grinder used on it) and the passenger side door and quarter is 95% done (I'll finish them this weekend)...I finally got rid of all the fucking bondo slathered in there.

the drivers side is really straight, and the passenger side is not as bad as the amount of bondo made it look...still quite a bit of work, but ah well. Taking it one step at a time this time, so I don't get overwhelmed with what's ahead of me.

Luckily most of the surprises should be done, and sanding should be fairly easy going now. Just gonna save a little for some sheet metal, and some heavier metal, work on the body, and get it primered. Depending on how things go financially, I may even have it painted by next spring.

After that I'll figure out the next step. Unfortunately I don't have the right tools to get any pics to post, but I'll be sure to at least get some pictures the good old film way.
