Fenders and extensions were blocked with 220 and then 320. Doors were guide coated and blocked again. Header and lower valance had some "imperfections" filled and then blocked out to 320. Then it all was put into final "primer/surfacer" according to the bodyman. At this point, it all comes home and the car needs to have the running gear installed so the panels can be fitted on the wheels. I guess this means we are starting to get ready for color.
Working on the hood(s) and the deck lid. The original hood has sand blast warping and I now have 2 replacement hoods that were supposed to be "good" but after stripping and edp dipping are as rough, if not worse than the original. We are evaluating our next move on those.
Deck lid was a mess, as was every other panel on the car, so not a surprise, but disgusting and a lot of filler, sanding work to make it presentable.
