Gt Bodywork Progress...

gtmaxx · 09-03-2007

Well where to start?,I put some Aircraft paint stripper (Aka Death in a can) on my Gt and once i brushed it on it bubbled up the paint and wrinkled and,I scraped off the paint down to bare metal i highly reccomend it,its saves you all the sanding,the only sanding i had to do is after i scraped it off i had left-over spots that i sanded down with a power sander (worked really good),The bad news is i found bondo the rear left side top,the right door,rear quarter panel and the worst is the front,The Previous owner cut the front nose off and put another on sounds simple dont it

im glad the guy just knew what he was doing when he did it (Looks Professional) but i am dissapointed at all the bondo i found

anyways here are some pictures tell me what you think,thanks-Maxx
