Done* With Body Work

I think I'm done* (see below) with body work.  There are a couple of spots I might need to touch up, but I'm spent.

 

 

I've removed every nut, bolt, plug and sticker and rubbed everything down with a scrub pad to get rid of the worst of the cruft.

I *think* I'm done.  I won't know for sure until my friend The Painter Guy comes to check it out.  If he likes it, I'll wipe everything down and we'll move it to his shop.

Almost There... Sort Of...

I'm down to sanding with 180 grit and a couple of touchups.  OK, a lot of touchups.  But the big stuff is done.

 

 

 

This will take a while.  It took me an hour to finish the boot lid (you know, the trunk).

Even Closer...

I'm almost there.  Really.

I got filler on the passenger's fender and the front valance, and did the first pass of blocking it down.  I filled some low spots and have to sand them, but then I'm down to touchups and final sand with 180 grit... and I'm "done".  I use quotes because at that point I get my painter friend to look things over and point out the hundreds of mistakes I made.  Not that I think I made that many, to be honest... I either did it pretty well or totally screwed up.  I think I got it pretty much right.

I'm hoping that I can finish up my final touchups next weekend, and then work out the plan to get the body into paint over the holiday.

I'm so, so close!  I want this done so I can get to the fun stuff, like putting the thing together.
