Still plugging along, slowly. I've never been happy about the large gap between the trunk lid and tail panel on these cars, so took a length of 1/8" wire and welded it across the lip.
  Inside...  Initial knockdown with grinder...  Then hand filed to shape and test fitting on car.  Cut the ends and welded the rest up, ground and hand filed again after this.

Then it was time to get the inner structure of the doors and trunk lid scuffed, caulked and primed with epoxy.
   Little bit of filler work needed on the lip extension, but not bad.  2.5 hours later and 2 coats, they are ready to sit under the baking heater and cure. I let the first coat gas out for over an hour, as my shop is only 65 degrees and the paint layed out nicely.  This is my drying system. I line them up right under the indirect heater and leave them alone for 2-3 days. Later this week, they will get jammed with COLOR !!
