68' Chevy II build thread

While those parts cured I took the opportunity to work on the inside floor boards and trunk floor. Being a California car it had very solid floors and trunk
There were maybe 5-6 small pin holes( like most Novas have under driver's side mat) I welded up and then dug out and replaced any worn,cracked seam sealer . Then I painted the floor with a rust preventative.
Then a top coat top was added to simulate the factory red oxide primer .
I figured even though it was to be covered with caret and no one will ever see it I just couldn't bring my self to leave anything untouched at this point .

So early on I knew I wanted a vinyl roof car .
So that is why in all the pics the roof paint was basically untouched .
The issue was when I fixed the front and rear window channels , I needed to go back and ut some paint down as I wasn't comfortable leaving primer under a vinyl roof ,even if it was catalyzed .
The next project was painting the edges of the roof and window channels black base, clear coat.
I just ended up painted those areas, and then sanded, and feathered the paint back smooth as the vinyl top underlayment will cover any small imperfections. ( actually the roof was amazingly straight )
I forgot to add these earlier, but here is a pic of the trunk floor as well as the inside of the Right rear quarter after repairs and seam sealer.. much better-er ha ha
