Just a couple of pics of the final wet sanding.

I'll be going back tomorrow to finish blocking & priming the doors. Then I'll get back on wet sanding. Then I'll have just the hood and trunk to do.......... Sooo close and yet sooo far. LOL

Just by all the pictures I can see you're putting allot of work into this bird, it's going to look killer I bet.

Nice work so far! It is gonna be very flat and nice.

Keep on plugging, it gets tedious during this part.

Don't I know it LOL. And yes I'll keep plugging away, hard part is keeping focused and not trying to do all the parts at the same time. I keep reminding myself PATIENCE!!

Didn't get as much done as I would've liked. But here's a couple pics any.

Had to do a little glazing on both doors.

Antenna in the middle of the roof and the spot for the antenna on the passenger fender is shaved off :).

Ok, here's a few more pics. The bird is about ready for paint, just need to put the seam sealer in some seams. I'm going to paint the inside of the header panel and doors tomorrow.

The rear glass is just resting there.

So today I got the seam sealer in where it needed to go. The wife stopped by and we did a once-over of the body. We found a couple flaws on the right bodyline and a cut/scratch on the right rear of the roof.

We're still trying to figure that one out. Oh well.
Anyway here's some pics of what I got sprayed today :D
