The only panels that have been replaced are the header panel, pass fender (whiskey dent too difficult to repair), both fender extensions, and obviously the stinger hood (but I have the factory hood).
Nice! Since becoming a member here I enjoy photographs of factory stamps and factory casting marks much more than I ever have haha.

Tried to mimic the factory antenna hole on the new NOS pass fender. Looks good. OK.... a little more primer for just a little more blocking....

A few things need a little more work on the body line. Getting CLOSE! The hood is also getting worked on. Though it fits nice it's pretty wavy, no surprise with fiberglass. I want it as straight as we can get it.

Thanks! It'll really pop, especially with the black stinger and black tail panel

Yup...I like that. Gonna be a sweet looking finish with the contrasting hood.

I'll bet you are getting real excited about it now. (congrats)
