Holy moly. I remember those pics way back in the day on F-bodyhideout!!

I hope that primer has a sealer in it, unless you want moisture seeping through that paint. They'll rot out if you don't have sealer on them.

Lookin good!

Yeah I remember posting it over there about it and kinda dwineled away from the f-bodyhideout.. I guess I lost intrest in f-body sites after getting smacked

Its a differnt door.. Got it for a really really good price from a friend of mine

I didnt replace the rear 1/4 I banged out what was there adn filled in the low spots. On the rocker where it was dented in I cut it out and replaced it tho. Much easier IMHO.

OMG dood you didnt know how bad I wanted to put that pig's head through his windsheild.

devianb thanks It will be a lot better when repaint the whole car, engine bay and all. I'm kinda torn between the 3 pearls that I want to use and what white I am going to use for base.
