A little more progress on the trunk and driver's quarter panel:

The roof. It seems that whoever repainted the car many years ago thought that taking the old decal stripe off the roof was a bit too labor intensive, so they just bondoed it over, repainted it, and then applied a new decal on top.

It took a bit of extra work to get the roof flat again.

More driver's quarter work.

Progress, progress, progress. Remember, you have an offer of an extra pair of hands if needed after it comes home! Just make sure the coffee is on.

Dust in a body shop is inevitable, but I feel so bad for the bottom of that TA... you slaved over every last detail... Does look straight though Steve!

Dust I can clean off. I will be getting the body back once all the sheetmetal work is complete and in primer. That way I can dust it off and install the rest of the exhaust, the fuel tank, fuel lines, etc.

I was dead in the water for a while due to the trunk floor not having been fixed, so ENOCH decided to replace the trunk floor, so I could do some more stuff on it myself. When he decided to keep going after fixing the trunk floor, I wasn't about to stop him.

Here are some shots from this morning. They carefully masked off the underside to keep the overspray away and primered (with low air pressure) the small section underneath the trunk floor. Eventually the "newer" red primered section will be very hard to tell from the original primered area. Plus, the majority of the replaced trunk floor section is blocked from view by the gas tank.
