    Finished welding in and finishing out holes where regal trim was. I can't turn back now.



    Have some good regal trim for sale:



    All but one of these pieces (one of the upper quarter window pieces is fair) is good for driver or replate. The lower right q window piece is NOS. $125.00

      Well progress is slow but thankfully picking up a little. Got all the finish body work done on hood. It's been blocked and primed again, and is ready for sanding and paint:



      Same holds true for the trunk lid.



      The top and the left side, all body work, primed, blocked, and primed. ready for sanding:



      Will be moving to right side maybe tomorrow???

          Tex, the SNS was already a bada** car when I saw it in its before state. The progress looks great.. Can't wait to see it once you've worked it over.

            Thanks, guys. I have the right door finished with body work, blocking, and primer. Working on fitting the quarter on this side. I'll finish this quarter and then move to the last of the body work and primer. It includes finishing the area around windshield, the rocker panels and a few pieces of front sheetmetal. The fenders are ready to bolt on and then they have to be blocked and primed again. I am making a little progress.

                    Well, I did finish the right quarter panel as well as getting the left door aligned correctly. It's hard to get these body panels where the fit is acceptable. Still working on right door alignment.



                    Starting to see a little progress. The right fender is sitting ready to start the front sheet metal alignment.



                    Bout finished the front lower air scoop with body work, on to priming and blocking.




                    Testing to see if I can add new photo:: Here goes

                      Taking up again, working on left door to finish alignment and have had to move the lower hinge in, a few months back. Now the shimming and alignment. Next finish the lower scoop.

                          If you'll hurry and finish The Saturday Night Special (The SNS) (Hey, that's a good tag number, you should try to get it) you can come up and work on Buttercup for me. <G>
