'66 Malibu N/SA

Well, I thought body work was done, but I kept finding more issues here and there. I'm really not good at seeing this stuff without the aid of shiny paint. The total count of dents continued to climb right to the end of the year. But I have a new theory on how a car can pick up so many dents. The formula goes like this:

Pissed off wife + Big hammer = Many dents

Who knows, it could be. Anyway I finally got to the point of spraying 2K primer on it. Here it is just before:





And here it is after:





Tomorrow I'll be block sanding then disassembling it to paint the fenders, doors, hood and trunk separately.

I can see a variety of imperfections but most of the body work looks good. I've been held up some by cold, wet weather though. This el nino seems to be for real. But I hope to get the main body painted this weekend, fenders, doors etc. next weekend.
