So decided to weld the doggy door up on my trunk and shave the side moldings. Also fixed the big dent in the quarter panel. Hood was peeling so i stripped what i had to and primed it. Wife also got the side skirts hung up at her job so they split in half and had to fix them. I even went to her job afterwards and tried to figure a better way without raising the car and there was none so i had to raise the car up

I found some pictures of the side skirt and quarter panel. The quarter panel only shows the fender arch being messed up but a week after having the car a dodge ram hit my rear bumper and pushed it back and caused ripples in the quarter which was fixed also
This is a nice new product. You use a stud welder and melts a stainless support into plastic to make is structural again. I **** you not i put together a totally in half side.skirt with this stuff.
This side was not too bad but still needed to be fixed. After using these staples i grinded a v in the front and used somes short hair dynaglass and went back with some 1171 3m bondo and then 31180 3m finishing glaze
If you blow this pic of you can see the arch in the rear caved in. Stud welder was a life saver here. Pulled 98% out
Also for the guys that said you HAVE to weld the side.molding holes up you dont have to if you know what you are doing. Now i welded mine up BUT you can basically cause a dent where the holes are and you long strand dynaglass and make sure you push it in the hole so that way it causes a mushroom affect and will not crack.

Also thinking of plastdiping my wheels and the trim around the windows. Also know i need to do the inserts on the front bumper but no reason to right now since i will be painting the car hopefully soon. Any other thoughts that i should do besides spacers? Not wanting to do any kind of fender pulling. I think after taxes i will do my interior and also thinking about bagging her. Prob interior first. I kind of like the sparco r100 seats. Want to carbon fiber the a pillars and c pillars and dye the dash and such black

I am debating color matching the trim and all. See i would.plasti dip it for the simple fact that i wont have to etch prime the chrome trim. And for the wheels my friend dis his and looked.really good and is a cheap way to see if i want black.wheels or not. And the car will not be IP when i am done. Painting it hot rod white by sem. Its a very bright semi gloss white
Its different and very durable. And way cheaper then wrapping the car. I will have around 200 dollars in paint, tape, and paper so i can't complain
