[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16687569, member: 70025"] Hello Everyone, Well, like always, I find myself getting deeper in the project than I anticipated LOL. I was going to sand the roof and then work on the rear of the car to get it ready for paint. Well once I got the roof done I took a closer look at the trunk area. First, I did not like how the underside of the trunk was finished. I also did not like how he trunk jam was finished. I also noticed that there was some body filler that had shrunk and was loose. So, that needs to be addressed as well. So, I decided to fix the underside of the trunk. Guess the other stuff will get addressed next weekend LOL. Here is the roof after I finished sanding it. On Saturday I actually got the car finished off with 800 grit. Well, everything except the rear of the car. However, it is basically ready for paint. [ATTACH type="full"]1726019[/ATTACH] Here is the area of the trunk with the bad body filler. I dug it out. I'll sand it a little and then fill it with fiberglass filler next weekend. [ATTACH type="full"]1726020[/ATTACH] The trunk jam doesn't look too bad in this picture, but it does need to be addressed. I'm going to repaint the trunk lid hinges while I'm at it. [ATTACH type="full"]1726021[/ATTACH] Then on Sunday I got into this deck lid project. I forgot to take pictures of the underside as it was. This is after I ground off the trunk seal residue as the seal is glued on (you can see it's down to metal around the trunk edge) and then I sanded down all the rough paint. They did a half ass job when they painted it Laser Red originally. You could still see the hot rod flat black in spots (you can still see it at the top portion of this picture). I swear, when people know it won't be seen they get lazy. Time to make it right. You know what they say if you want it done right LOL.... [ATTACH type="full"]1726022[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
