What have I gotten myself into? The original plan was to do a quick flat black rattlecan job and replace the ugly rubber bumpers with earlier chrome bumpers. I took off the side trim then decided to remove another part and since that was done, why not do this, and that, and also this, and...

I am making some progress. I welded up the reverse lights, recessed the license plate, made filler sections under the taillights to blend with the new bumpers, and welded up the two seams in the rear of the car. I have never picked up a welder and have never done any extensive body or metalwork before this project so this is quite the learning curve. I am quite pleased with the results so far. It is exactly as I envisioned and it is not going to need much filler at all.

Quite an undertaking for someone with no experience. Nice job!

Not much progress to date. I recently bought a house with a 900 square foot dedicated garage/workshop but not much money or time left to work on the car!
