You say you shaved the drip rails? Do you have other pics showing this as it looks to me that the are still on the car, perhaps just the angle of the pics?

For a little more work, and not much really! I would deffinatly strip the roof/whole car! There's nothing like starting fresh, and the roof is right in your face when the cars on the ground!

Looks like a good car to start with. You might be one of the lucky ones that starts with a rust free car.

I'm interested to see more of what's under the paint.

is there welding to be done when shaving the drip rails or do you just cut them off and call it good?

Ill try and get better pics. Theres a little bump that runs in back of the drip rail. I left it there. I think its a nice touch. Theres a couple spots that need to be welded shut.
I know at least one quarter has been replaced but yeah its going to be nice to see what under that paint. So far so good. Its nice to see evercoat filler. I like to see that because that usually shows that a decent shop did the work.

Started doing some sanding today. As I got into the passenger side quarter I found the cut for the new quarter. Wouldnt have been my choice but I guess it will be ok. I found a 1/2 of bondo over the welded section. I dont know why this much filler was used. The panel isnt that off, oh well its gone now.
I then got started on the template for the firewall. I think this will do just fine!
