It's about time you got back to work

Great progress. Keep up the good work. That engine bay is looking great.

Here are a few pics of the progress. The bottom belly and the frame where painted using valspar self etch primer then a pass with PCL then shot with a single stage valspar vivid blue purl. Frame was dusty when pics were taken

Body is 100% rust free and all extrior trim holes have been plugd, here are some pics of the body. I used a a 40 grit first to chew the paint offf then hit it with an 80.

Very nice work on the body! I can understand what it takes to get it to this point. I just finished my son's paint and it took forever.
