Doors and hatch are already jambed, as are the sides of the hood and the fenders.

As for the engine bay I'm most likely going to take the "wait until the engine's out and spray it right then" approach that I usually take with all my projects. I rarely keep the engine bay clean enough to show it off anyhow so few ever see it lol.
If it bugs me too much afterwards it's nothing an afternoon and a couple cans of spray paint can't take care of. But, it'll most likely wait until I have a need to pull the motor and get done right whenever that may be.

And another, caught her legs to prove that she helps work on them too. She's the one who pulled the whole nose off while I was sanding. I have better but I'll get yelled at cause she's dirty lol

And here's how we left it for the night. Decided I'm tired of killing myself. If we get it done for Sunday great, if not, oh well :p

Eh, compared to her subie we just did this ones a quicky. Most of it's plastic so no dents, and I guess I'm getting lazy in my old age, if it was damaged and unbolts we just changed it lol.
Except for the hood, that was just a few small dings so I took care of them. Still suprised we're leaving the stock one, just couldn't find anything we liked enough to go drop $4-500 on so we said screw it. I'll just have to have the paint make up for the wow factor.

Agreed, I'm a die hard firebird guy. This car is just my beater bitch lol.
I've been very tempted to gut it for other projects a few times but she wont let me. Guess I'm stuck with it. :D

nice...cant wait to see it all done

Here's how I left it today. Nose is all on and as lined up as it's gonna be. Just need to finish sanding it and then it's paint time. Only put a few hours in today, had other stuff to attend to during the morning. Getting there though.
Only other thing I will say is aftermarket fenders for these cars fit like week old dog poo. I spent a good hour and a half tweaking before I gave up and decided it was close enough :p
