hahaha yahh I am going to run 1 inch spacers all around... Dont tempt me with new wheels!


Anyways, did more work yesterday!

Smoothing in the vents.


Smoothed out the two dents (remember the one i burned a hole in?)


Final shaping up of this panel.



Ok here is where I need help. I am going to need to define the body line on the door because it was dinged in a little with the dent on the door. I pounded them out but I still need to smooth it over. Any advice on how to tackle remaking the body line? I was thinking just getting a lonnng sanding block and going over it across ways but lightly and rocking it with the curve of the line. I don't know if that makes any sense to you guys...

thanks guys! As for updates.. might not be as much this week because my class is on spring break so no shop :/. I will be working on the car though.

I plan on stripping the paint off the bumpers. Any good ideas for that? Or is sanding the best way.. I think getting in the cracks of the s5 bumper between the moulding part will be a painn..

Maybe aircraft stripper on the whole thing will work? Haha. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement!
