Petty Stock Car Project

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Updating my Stock Car progress. 
Things have been moving on great. We were blessed with some rain free warmer than normal weather for the past few days and I have been able to get alot of my primer work done. Working on the second coat and as I said before I am super impressed by the new body shop materials that are available. This poly primer I am using fills so nicely, sands so easy that the results are going to be way better than I had expected. I have got my worst area done. The right front fender and right side of the hood. They were both in bad shape and should have been trashed. I have 3 qts of body filler in the fender alone. The hood was almost rusted in half. I have amazed myself how good they have come out. Not much more that I can do to the hood. I re-enforced it with some angle iron, and that is what has caused the hump up above the fender. 
It has stated raining today and going to turn colder for a few days so I am shut down. I have a great shop to work in but my heat consists of a butane bottle with burner. I really need to be in the upper 50's to heat it enough to do paint work and of course no rain for the humidity. 
I feel like I am on track. Days are counting down to Mopars at the Battleship, Mobile, AL. Both my Satellites will be there...MS Cruiser will be showing off her new trim on the rear between the tail lights, and new armrests. Work still to be completed. Confident the Petty car will be painted and decaled up.
I love to hear the progress reports from our members as we play with and enjoy our follies..!!!!! Bill H. be careful with the family jewels, hate to see u lose them at this stage of life. Mine might not work as good as they once did...but at least they work as good once as they ever have !! Remember the moral of the story...one must keep mom happy..if she is not happy you will not get to do any equipment checks.
