Great job Mitch, having the car in primer has to feel good.

That primer was just the first, "let's see how well we are doing with the chemical filler". The left quarter skin took a LOT more filler than I ever believed it needed to look good, but it does look good. We now have the right sail panel where we are happy with it. The NOS quarter had been around to swap meets and being loaded and unloaded from trailers and had numerous small dents along the side. That took a bunch of filler and time to get back flat too. Bodyman wants to get the whole back half in primer now, but I needed to finish the trunk seal gutter clean up and seam seal. I, also, stripped the interior quarter panels to bare and primed them. The left side had an old dent that I tried to ignore, but after primer, I had to fill it. Today was final sand, clean and prep for an attempt at shooting primer into the seal gutter, getting the extension panel covered and all the interior metal too.

Thanks, Tony. Been a very slow, labor intensive process, but happy that it won't be sitting all summer in bare metal. Right about now, I'm wishing I could be one of those check writers... LOL

But... when you are done it is so much more satisfying. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Hopefully what I did today will feel satisfying when I wet sand the interior for color. Looks OK for a beginner...
