Not much happened today, just compounded the Camaro to rid of the haze and discuss the plan for the Cutlass this weekend.

A day after the panel was polished the haze returned. The sail panel and wing after a 2nd polish look great. I am not sure what is going on, but I am suspect I get the panel a little to warm while polishing it. It is shiny after the polish but hazy the following day.

Taking a break from the trunk now that the bondo is removed and the previous welds are exposed.

Trying to bypass the monsoon amp because it was acting up with one speaker making it sound like it was blown when it was not.

After adding seafoam to the fuel tank and some into the intake to try to get a valve or lifter noise fixed. I went ahead and wet sanded, compounded and polished the wing and part of the sail panel to see how it would look.

When the car was parked after dropping my daughter off at work it wasn't making any noise until it was just sitting. So now it just fixes it self.

During the sanding process I see that the rust is worse than it appears and now have to make a decision on what to do.

Today I was able to get the Passenger and nose of the Cutlass primed. The only part left is the hood, but I am still unsure If I want to keep the 442 style hood on there. I still have the original hood but it is in Florida at the time.

Finally got the hole taken care of and the antenna hole filled. The weather is rain on and off so that will delay applying primer until Saturday or Sunday.

Mostly using a hammer and a makeshift dollie from earlier, I was able to get most of the dents straightened out so that the amount of Bondo that was taken off of the fender before did not have to go back on,

I tried a paint stripper on a small spot on the 77' Cutlass and I believe it was most likely operator error.

Used vinegar and water mix to kill the rust while I used a hammer and dollie to fix some of the dents to reduce the use of Bondo.
