Sorry to come back from a 3 month vacation just to hijack Kevin! Kurt, I just have a trash bag covering it, and I had to clean the garage and finish a couple house projects in a certain amount of time to have kitchen priveledges.

After the house burned down, we rented a 2 br. trailer. I was allowed to store the interior of this car in the second bathroom. Seats, dash, door panels... whole nine yards.
I had my tools and tool box in the kitchen along with the transmission and engine from this car. Headers in the bedroom closet, the list goes on and on. I basically had parts or tools in every room in a 900 square foot trailer.
With this house and the additional garage space, and garage/attic storage everything stays out of the house. Not her rule... my rule
Yep, I knew you had the coolest wife. Mine would have shot me in my sleep if I took up that much of our limited amount of space!

Latest progress is a 2nd block and prime of the roof and driver's quarter.
Smoothed out the spot welds on the rear quarter

The primer is straight as can be, all the hours that you have spent on working the body has shown. The black paint is going to be smooth as glass.

Yes sir.
You can clearly see from the primer pictures that paint is going to laydown like a bed spread.
Excellent work.
^^^^
Thanks guys!
Got the roof and driver side blocked with 220 and then blocked the passenger side quarter. All three panels are now at the same point and all got more primer last night.

95steedamustang, just wanted to know and I am sorry if it has been posted before and I missed it, but do you do autobody work for a living or is it something you have tought yourself? The roof came out great. Did you end up just filling the lines/dents made by the hood or did you hammer and dolly them first?

Yeah, although I'm not sure any good body man does the work for a living. I usually have way more hours in stuff than I charge for. But that's my own OCD kicking in.
The roof saw everything known to man. First a stud puller, then hammer and dolly, then heat to pull the stretched metal back in. Then a pick hammer to level the high spots from the stud puller.

Worked the passenger side quarter over again.
still not quiet there...
Getting closer though...

Another round of blocking, sanding and smoothing the engine bay.
And more primer
Except for some final small details, we can check another thing off as ready for paint.
Next up will be putting the doors and fenders back on and setting the gaps. Paint is coming...I promise

Can't wait to see paint on this thing. I guess we've been waiting a long time to see primer. Good work man. We await the sprayer full of paint.
