Made some neat copper welding spoons to help with all the trim holes. Cheap and work great! If you're gonna weld some trim holes shut I highly recommend something like this.

Ripped the interior out to weld the roof rack holes. It's gotta come out for paint anyway so...

Starting to look smooth on one side.

I picked out some colors too. Lexus Ultasonic Blue over GM Cyber Grey Metallic. The grey has a blue metal flake in it so it should look good together.

Sorry for the boring pics but body work isn't exactly photogenic. But it is getting smooth and almost ready for color. Can't wait.
