Chevelle updates

Making some good progress now.

Bodyguy #2 is back. The extra pair of hands are more than a little welcome.

To back-track to last week--#1 was in process on the DS fender and wound up having a small issue with the clear which required some minor touch-up.



The repair was easily handled and #1 was finishing up the wetsanding and buffing on the DS fender today when we arrived.





While #1 was busy on the fender, #2 installed the door handles and locks, and then turned his attention to installing the drip rail moldings.



One DS fender freshly buffed and in the midst of installation.



Once the fenders were aligned, the hood was installed.



Next up were the rocker moldings.



It's amazing how the addition of some moldings & trim begin to bring out the lines of the car.

#2 was hard at work installing the wheelwell moldings just as we were ready to leave.

#1 called during the week to let me know he had an interior guy lined up to reinstall the headliner and rear sail panels. Headliner guy was initially supposed to be on site today, but he wasn't able to show, so he's supposed to be there next weekend.

To bring a few more details up to speed, #1 has the rear body panel blacked out and the tail light extensions painted, but they weren't quite ready for re-installation today, so with any luck they will be ready by next weekend.

If we can keep this pace up for the next few weeks, this thing <span style="font-style: italic">might</span> be done and ready to cruise a little bit before this season is over. There's still some painting to do on some interior panels, but other than that, the only big things left to do are install the rear body panel moldings, install the glass and finish putting the front &amp; rear of the car back together.

...still pinching myself to make sure this is all really <span style="font-style: italic">finally</span> happening. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]

More next week.
