    Well, its been a busy 3 weeks. It started off with getting some of the surfacing rust out and repaired. Well, once I dug into that it was a whole case of worms that started pouring out and I just couldn't stop. I have been battling the elements something fierce since I don't have a shop to work in, so I would probably be even farther along if I did. I have figured out that this car was more than likely in a pretty bad wreck when it was pretty new. It has body replacement parts, tons of bondo pretty much from front to rear and the rear quarter panels have had metal patches once before. I tried to do body work one step up from what it had previously and there is much much less body filler on it now than there was before. I am definitely not going to be able to turn this into a show car, what with my very limited resources (read $$$) and I am learning on the fly here, so I am just doing the best I can and trying to make sure that everything I do is an improvement. Here is a link to a gallery of pictures to share. The ones in primer are of course the now photos. http://img6.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=mavericku.jpg
