Wait a day or so, carefully wet sand it. if you break thru it should blend easily, then give it another shot of clear. when you clear over clear, it flows out like glass!  :perfect10: I give it two coats over the blends.  :alan2cents:

Really looks nice for spraying out in the open!

Weather here has been awful lately with the humidity and temperatures.

Dang, you are really flying now.  It seems like you went from walking to sprinting on this restoration. :bradsthumb:

It does seem that way. It has been a long journey with this car. Now the fun part begins putting here back together

Hi need some help finding this bolt for the front shock. Its the bolt that goes thru the shock and lower control arm. I was wondering if I could just go use a grade 8 bolt from the hardware store?

That's what I did with my rear shocks since the stock bolts wouldn't work since I used my old school traction bars for that period look.  I haven't had any issues with the bolts after several burnouts and power shifts.  BTW, you can't beat a black 'Cuda.  Ask me how I know.   :D :banana:

Hi can anybody recommend where I can get some longer wheel studs for the axle? With the rear disc on the wheel stud dont really go thru wheels so you cant bolt them up.

Got more done on the car today. Paint corroseal on the undercarriage where the gas tank goes and install gas tank. Also finished up putting the front brakes together and on. I do need some help on installing the torsion bars and some question about it. Like does it matter what end of the torsion bar goes i do know they are side specific and how does the insulator get install for the  torsion bar. They are the red rubber things in the pic
