Body and paint rework

Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am/GTA/Formula (1980) - Honey Hush

Back when I had the BBC in the car I broke the left axle and shoved the tire up in the fender.  Since the car was down from a broken transmission I figured I’d start fixing the damage to the body. 

 At the time I didn’t plan on redoing the entire car.  Well that snowballed into adding flush glass, Kindig door handles, shave maker lights and a new paint scheme, along with a ton of other small modifications.
