I hear you on these cars being insane wavy from the factory. Talk about lumpy. Looks like your on the right track though. Its gonna turn out great i'm sure. Maybe I missed it earlier but what color are you going with???
And since everyones sharing pictures of their rebuilds... Here's a few just to give you some encouragement and incentive. Good luck!
...Primed and blocked mine 3 times I believe.

yeah I havent updated in awhile.
Ordered all the paint materials, will be here this week
started filling the small holes and sanding in prep for some high build primer
Put up a 9000lb lift in the shop im using, so that took some time
Installed a SJM ABS delete kit, man that was a bastard to flare those lines! stupid 4 channel ABS!!

didnt get any pics today, heres what I have accomplished in the past 2 weeks
Doors are over half done sanding and ready to come off the car
both 1/4s are about 75% done with smoothing, they were BAD its been a hell of alot of work
rear panel was sanded, letters filled and key hole filled, thats ready for final quick sand, and prime
have basically all the paint and materials here, just need it to warm up some more so I can lay down some primer

as a owner of a 94 that has almost the same amount of damage to the exact same spot, i am very happy to see someone go through with this work and inspire me to keep the whats known in the circle of friends as "huge piece of ****" and rebuild it BETTER than its ever been seen.
Can you post up more details? like amount of time on what task, prices for supplies and such... would help out alot of people

Time, wow its alot. I would say im probably close to 200 hours so far, cost wise i suppose including the paint and sandpaper im around $700 now. This car had alot of small damage aside from just the 1/4, i hammered out alot of small dings and have been smoothing the 1/4s for 2 days, but they should be like glass when im done
