There will be no cruise in and shows for this '61` for a year or 2

Yes it is my dad put 5 cars in there . 3 small cars on 1 side and my '61 fury and my dad's '68 charger on the other side

 

[sb61fury]

I also did some sanding on the hood and the trunk of the car

Good progress Steph. Be careful around the trim and emblems with that body file. That stuff is hard to find and expensive to replace if damaged.
Maybe remove them and store in a safe place until the car is painted.

Good advice. I was wondering myself when the trim was going to be removed.

Ah, Scott, You're here. PM me please. Thanks.

My dad will remove the trim I am leaving that part to him then I will either store this in my room or in the parts room. I took the fender mirrors and the headlight bezels off myself. I hope someday to locate a day/night rear view mirror for the car also. When sanding I do not go near the trim. I am only sanding on the trunk and the hood of the car

Beautiful. I'd like to know which epoxy you used for filler.
