Not much to show from this weekend - got the driver side wheel well extended and got the body flipped over so I can start cleaning the bottom side. There is a ton of bondo in this rig - the bottom of the rear corners had at least 1/4" plus of bondo and the fenders had at least 1/8" where we cut them out. The rear corners have seen some abuse - the seam between the rear corner and rear fender was filled 3/8 to 1/2" with bondo. After getting that out we welded them together (gotta love the smell of bondo on fire!). I think I'll go for the "no body line" look in the rear.
I've got a full day or two of cleaning the underbody. I'm going to scrape off what I can, then pressure wash, then wire wheel it.
