so i havent updated on the 442 in a while but its been a freezing winter here that just didnt want to go away, now that its warming up and i got my tax return a little bit ago, i decided to splurge and buy the body pieces i need for the 442

first we removed the back window, slow process but you gotta do it right


then i started to sand away at the rear quarters to get through the primer and bondo, there was so much bondo i had to stop and use a heat gone to scrap the rest of the bondo off. Fried my drop light in the process


Only to not much surprise that the quarters are totally shot and it looks like the car had some previous damage done to it and it had some real shotty work done to it





so i splurged and bought new quarter panels a perfect trunk lid and a set of patch panels for the rust in the front fenders








The trunk lid i got was perfect, i decided to strip the paint off and found out that it comes off alot easier then the paint on the rest of the car




then i figured out that the wing they had put on the original spoiler on the trunk was put on crocked



and for your viewing pleasure i snapped a shot of the 442 from the other side of my garage over the nova
