Body work UPDATED 07/19/09

Postby PalermoCoreyGTX on Fri Jul 10, 2009 8:33 pm

Well i have started doing body work on my GTX.I'm just not sure what i want to do. i have a feeling i will need fender flares for my 9" wide bad boys. plus im going to be using Intense coil overs. i want it to stick out from the crowd of most GTX's. not that there super popular. i just want something to stick out.if any body has any suggestions im free for input.

Find a place that'll rent you a tool for rolling, or if you feel brave, use a wooden bat.

hear are some pics of the GTX build. its alot of work and im not going to rush thru it. so here you go. please keep in mind this will not be a daily driver, just a week end cruiser, or pretty much when i feel like driving it car.

i started with shaving the side molding. yes it was alot more work then i thought it was going to be

Image

Image

Image

there all welded up duraglassed. sorry i didnt take pics of the welding action

next was shaving the trunk lock key hole

Image

Image

Image

welded shut, and duraglassed. no pics. again sorry i was tired of taking pics

next i started to shave the bumper grooves

Image

Image

grooves were sanded 80 grit on a die grinder

Image

Image

for filler i used Evercoat Maxim medium filler. looks like tar. same consistency of tar. very messy shit

Image

thats all for now till next weekend. :wink:
