Body working removables is up next. We’re going to get everything in final prime and wait for all the elec. conversion parts to arrive before we paint in case we to make any mods.

We will build it if it comes.

Started working doors Sunday night. As with the rest of the car the pass side required the most attention. Some shrinking and pin work, some hammer and dolly also.

Started mud work and had both doors blocked out in 36grit by daylight.

Back at it last night.  Couple more rounds of spreading and blocking mud, followed by a poly primer session. 

Started working the deck lid while mud was drying on the doors. Managed to get in roughed out also. 

We will build it if it comes.

Also 180 stick sanded both doors and coated them in 2K primer.
