I would love to have your hood that's sitting on top of the car, it would save me $800 ($600 for bolt on hood with $200 shipping). The hood will cost me more than any one piece on this car...including the car itself

I finally went out and worked on the last dent today. This should be the end of the body work (there a few door dings but those shouldn't take more than a few minutes). Here is the before (it looks like a pole was hit because there was high spots above and below this dent). Here is after. The body line isn't perfect but I couldn't get to the back of the area.

I don't plan on taking the paint off prior to repaint but I did take it off the lower quarter. I sprayed PAM cooking spray on there to help with being able to clean off the burnout rubber... I know, it wasn't very smart. Just to make sure I don't have any problems I just sanded it off. Here is a shot of the right side of the car.

Did some more work on the Demon today, not long but enough to cause some serious damage My plans are to have the car done by the end of March for the racing season but looking at it now makes me wonder I've seen a lot of cars tore down and never put back to together but I swear this won't be one of them. Pulled the dash out (never done this before) Now I need to tear it apart so I can paint it Pulled the heater box out (another first for me)

Welded the bench seat mounting holes up since I am going with buckets, and gutted the doors. Did some other "invisible" work cleaning up the motor compartment, trunk and inside firewall. Not very exciting but it's another four or five hours.

I can really share your anxiety about tearing everything apart and not being able to put it back together again...with all the parts in boxes I always try to stay calm by thinking it's no big problem, just a bunch of little ones! thomas _________________________________________ cuda blog

I figure I'm only $40 worth of sandpaper from it, might as well. Had a little helper today too. Didn't get much done but had a lot of fun with little Samantha Ruth. She's doing a little DA work She is chiseling out body sealer from the gutters Her final product!!

I stripped the trunk lid tonight, took 1 hour. Not going to post any pics, you've all seen a trunk lid before
