rear trunkl tubs seam sealed
sealer you see inside fender is there to protect inside of the quarter panel weld I will be body shultzing the whole trunk and inner quarters as well then painting it with splater paint for a strong durable atractive trunk finish.

Got the whole car into three coats of green self etching primer

Then painted the whole out side of the car in black epoxy, so now no worries about rust while I seam seal the inside.

Then I will put the lizzard skin down then start on all the custom dash work and the actual body work.

I think those wheel are Foose Nitrous.


Are you gonna have a rear seat? Wondering how it'll fit in there!
