That last cover coat of filler is a great tip. ;Sweet;Sweet I heard about that myself a while back and my filler work finished out faster and better.

Those doors look great!

I brazed all the holes shut on the hood. just to see if I could really. It didn't come out too bad I still might cut it all out and replace it though

Also Just ordered the truck-arm suspension from Hot Rods to Hell custom suspension shop. They're in Cali. The guy is very knowledgeable and really cool to talk to. The Buick is going to hook like a fackin drag car.

That's just an image from Google.

I'm using a ford 9".
If I stay with Stock coil springs I'm swapping out the knee action shocks for regular shocks.
I may go with coil overs.

Couldn't sleep last night over the brazed hood!! I cut it out and patched it proper.

Other side of hood basically complete.

Banged out a quick patch and ran it through the planishing hammer.

There's a lot going on in that little piece of metal. I wish I had the skill and patients for that. Not sure I have either anymore.

Looks great.
