Update....I am deep in the Jams now. The shop that had the car with the prior owner hung new quarters on the car and lipped them in right at the door jam. They had simply crammed seam sealer in there. The spot welds are nice. I had to dig all that out and begin to fill and smooth it the best I can. I am not 100% happy with this, but I will make it work and look fine.
Still wrapping up a few more long skim coats on the firewall to get it perfectly smooth. Going to drop the racing stripes down the firewall, so it has to be right. As you may have noticed my brakes, windshield wiper, hoses, wires area all gone from the firewall. I reshaped it around the trans tunnel and eliminated the dimples for the washer lines (relocated). So, this will make a super trick wall that begs for the stripes to run down.
I hope I can get it all ready for jam paint by the end of this weekend. Picking up my paint supplies on Friday.
Once that is done the engine/trans/sub frame goes under and reassembly begins!
