Thanks. These rear fenders are normally fitted to the factory bonding strips as a full quarter replacement, not sure if I saved much work by cutting the rear short and splicing them in though !!!
I was hoping to have them in primer by now but been held up with work.

Hi Craig,
It 3m Platinum Plus body filler. Most of this has been sanded off and I then applied 3m Flowable Finishing Glaze. Again most of this was sanded off.
I still need to do work on the door gaps and I am also filling in the seams on the rear lower exhaust filler panel.
Once all that's done I'll shoot it with high fill primer, block sand again and re-shoot with primer.
I plan on leaving it for quite a few months to give it a chance to settle or shrink before blocking out again. That will give me a chance to strip and prep the rest of the car for paint.

Looking a bit like a patchwork quilt at the moment. I have been using dry guide when sanding to get it as straight as possible before high fill.
I still need to remove some paint from around the exhaust filler panel seam area and bond/fill this in.
Back to work tomorrow for the Christmas period, so nothing happening till after that :grr:
Hope everyone has a great Christmas :cheers:

And now for something completely different, another Chev project in the shed!!!
I picked up this 28 Tourer from an old boy who had it sitting in his shed for many years. I guess you could call it a barn find!!!!
Its a complete car in reasonable condition. I plan on doing a frame off rebuild when the Vette is back on the road.
