I love how this is coming out.

One of these days I would love for you to explain how when you use plastic sheeting on door/window opening you get it so taught and wrinkle free!

After I block sanded the body I found a few areas that needed a little more work.







I had forgotten how hard it is to see any imperfections in white primer. I should have sprayed gray and the white just before spraying orange.

Two more coats of epoxy

Today Brian cleaned all that nasty mess from under the windshield.

No rust in the right windshield pillar.



He found this on the drivers side.



Brian cut out the rust and welded in a patch.

Yesterday before Brian went home he got the body ready for paint. Finished taping, moved it in the booth and wiped it down with SPI wax and grease remover.





I got up early and was at the shop at 5:30 and mixed up a cup of reduced SPI white epoxy and sprayed a sealer coat. Around 9 I will start spraying orange.
