Thanks for all the compliments. So a quick update, we had the whole thing pretty much ready for interior, and while washing the car, we found that all the black paint in the engine bay was wiping off onto the wash cloths.
Long story short, the painter used a cheap, unsealed primer to coat everything instead of a proper black paint and flattened clear, or even a semi gloss single stage.
We had to strip EVERYTHING down to nothing and repaint it all. If the videos weren't so big, I would post them to you tube. The paint literally came off on our rags like it had paint stripper on it.
It was a 10k setback. 126 hours to disassemble, strip and paint. While it was apart we even redid the door jambs, as the painter totally killed the paint when assembling the first time.
I will get some pics up to date tomorrow.
