Summer race season we don't do much on this car. Back to work on it in November 2022. He cleaned up his welds, and tacked any pinholes the grinding revealed. He then stripped a door, sandblasted the jambs and the rust-pits hiding behind the side trim, and I primed it for him while he was at Driver's Training class.

We wanted to get the sandblasting done on the shell before winter really set in. That uncovered a few more areas that need patching. We got the whole car in epoxy primer, and I shot the jambs with high-build 2K, then started body work at the dash and firewall so we can get paint on those, and start some assembly work as well... having some part look "finished" is always a good motivator for the rest of it.
