How are you applying the primer? Are you having to mask off everything every time you want to spray a little?

No lucky there isnt really much overspray, plus everything on the car has yet to be painted or it will be replaced.


took a break from the bodywork yesterday to do some more interior work. Put new foam and upholstery on the old nasty set of buckets. it took all day with he help of a friend, and my hands are killing me.

took advantage of the nice weather today to finish the trunk and do the gaps on teh endcaps. I used icing to go over everything to hide the 40 grit scratches from blocking, i blocked everything with 150 so it ready for primer. I got the drivers side end cap fitting the way I wanted, and still be removable. Ill work on the passenger side tomorrow.

Incredible work, you can really see the improvement compared to when you first started on the end caps/trunk area...... Though it is kinda comical what was considered acceptable panel gaps back in the day. :D
