This weekend I finally got the entire chassis in water proof epoxy primer! It's been a bit of hard work here due to my climate - hot and steamy, so metal was stripped and prepped in small areas bit by bit.

So since my last update I did the other rear quarter panel, the roof, and all the nooks and crannies that make up the door hinge post and front quarter support panel. The last area particularly is hard work as power tools and attachments don't fit in and your hand gets chopped up doing the work manually. I didn't entirely strip the roof as it was in great condition, I just took it back to its first coat of primer.

There are still a couple of superfluous tabs and holes on the chassis to be cut and filled, but is is now ready to be rubbed down with red scotchbrite in preparation for seam sealer, and then primer filler. Then the many hours of block sanding will start. However I'll probably hold off on progress whilst I catch up with the rest of the panels (doors, hoods) which need to be stripped and similarly prepped.
