I am humbled by your compliments...truly guys (blush, blush). I guess my dad taught me the feel of metal better than I ever realized 50 years ago when I worked in his blacksmith shop. He was a craftsman....
Anyway, I have been having a few personal issues, but I have started the painting process. Intention is to keep the factory primer as the clearcoat is checked, but the basic paint on the car is solid and in pretty well perfect shape.
The new areas like the place where I welded in the sunroof and took off the drip rails will need proper from the metal up painting, but the rest is just a sealer coat of medium build primer and then on to the sanding...and sanding....and sanding.....and sanding......sigh.
Anyway, a few pic's of the current state.
