Since I've been working at a small bodyshop and since it's been a little slow this week, I've been able to work on some of my bird parts. Here's some pics of the front fenders and header panel so far.
Cheap little camera :(

Looking very familiar 1BadBird. I never even looked at the backs of my fenders, except to get rid of any rust. I intend to hit them with some gooey undercoat stuff I have. It's kinda like Waxoil if you are familiar with that.
It'll be nice to sit back and watch you and Vinnie work while I relax! (Not quite yet, though.)
Anyway, looking good, guy!

I plan on using a spray-on bedliner on the inside of the fenders. Nope, not familiar with that stuff. I thought of using that stuff from duplicolor with kevlar or U-Pols Raptor stuff.
