Default I have a new garage helper!

I am starting my daughter out early! I think she was 7 months in that picture. Sorry about the quality, it was off a camera phone.Anytime I am out in the garage working on the car she is out there in her walker helping me. She is almost 9 months now. I need to start getting her to learn what tools are what

There are some right now. Not the prettiest I know but its slow progress. In the one you can see her walker on the side. 2 of the pics are after I got the quarter windows put in and the other is not too long after I got the scoop bolted up.

Yea mine didn't look that bad at first. Really, the only thing that is bad on this car is the floorpans. The driver side is the worst and I still have to patch it up. I have the passenger side down. The only other rust problem as a spot on the passenger quarter flare lip. I filled it and primered that whole quarter the summer of 06 before I left for Iraq. That is all done with rattle can primer too . My next trip over is gonna pay for a media blast so I can do it the right way and I am gonna learn how to paint and do it myself.

After I fixed the rust spot and then after I stripped the rest of the quarter and painted it. Notice I smoothed the groove in front of the wheel?I was gonna do all the grooves between the wheels and fab some pieces to smooth out before them for a good transition but I got tired of messing with the bondo. lol
