Here is more progress filler and bondo getting applied were its needed. It needs to set for about 20 minuites then the sanding starts. If there is more work I will take photos and post them later on.

Yes it is Then after the sanding is done on this side then its off to the passenger side. More bondo was added and more sanding will be done. I was advised from a body shop owner not to be afraid of bondo.

Here is some more progress but there will be no more photos until the car is in primer I think I am showing way too much of my work. These are the last photos for now

No such thing as too much IMO... most of us will never get to go through all that work on a car like yours. It's fun to watch.
 
The beginning of primer were the drivers left rear fender panel is being worked on. There is more to do. I just found out its not primer its a trial paint to see were more work needs to be done before the primer

Looking good Steph.
Hey..... Do you think your dad would want one more 61 Fury to work on.....? :poke:
I do not know if he does or not. I asked and he said no. I even told him that your is a convertible:poke:. I am going to try to make this 1 identical to the last '61 or as close as possible the only exceptions is it will have the aero wheel and the under dash AC installed after its finished. If its finished by sometime next year the 1st show I plan to do is Cars on the square then TN Valley Mopars I might do either PACE or Music City Mopars

The drivers side will be ready to primer soon . I do not know when but it should be soon. I also got to save for those wide white wall tires for my car I believe the wide whites on my car about 2 '' if I am correct but I could be wrong.
 
2" wide white walls would be just right on your car Steph. Maybe you could talk your dad into posing for a picture with your car for him. We appreciate what he is doing.

This thread needs a better/more descriptive title. I suggest "61 Fury Restoration" or something identifying what it is.

Let me know what you think and I can change it.
