I parked it in the garage last night!

No paint or bondo fell off, so I wasn't drunk enough.

Either that or you were so drunk that you didn't realize the bondo went on your neighbors car.

Nicely done, looks great!!

I drove it to work and the bondo still held on at "70". Excellent! The shop guys are impressed.

More good news! The paint survived getting wet and getting hot. No bondo melting down the sides (yet)!

Seriously though, work is buzzing over how decent it looks from a few feet away. I have some ideas on improving it further...

You spent a weekend making yours look better than mine will look after a decade! Nice work!

Congrats, looks as good as an AMC can. I must get my family to leave town for a weekend now!

Lookin' good dude. Is there a way to tuck that front bumper up so there's not such a big gap on the ends?

Ah, replace it? The front bumper's been hit, hard, and it's bowed to all crap.

I thought you'd leave it primer gray like most of the older american cars around. The primer spot shows ambition "i'm gonna get this job done" followed by reality setting in, "damn that's a bigger job than I thought, to hell with it."
