You're probably right about the hatches - I was thinking maybe you had the connect. Strong work on the repair though!

It's looking 🔥🔥🔥 to me! How are you feeling about the decision to paint it yourself? Any new thoughts?

Prep for paint has been a ton of work for 1 guy, but it's going good so far.

I love the blue. I sprayed about 6 different colors before deciding on that one.
