Blasting the door jambs will be next. Rain is scheduled soon so it may have to wait a little bit.

Here's the P/S door done almost ready to primer. It has a few cut outs I would like to get fixed.

I just finished going over the entire underbody inch by inch filling in any areas that needed attention. Close to 30 hours spent going over every detail. Just a little bit more effort and the underside will be all done.

I'm so glad to be done with the major sand blasting and sanding underneath.
I'm pooped.   :sleeping:

That's funny you asked. I just got back a few minutes ago.

It's been raining here alot and more next week. So work on my car is between storms when I get a chance. I'll get some pic updates soon here.

      About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I started sanding the interior floors and doing a few touch ups. Then a week later, I began spraying Rust Bullet on the drivers side. Last week, I did the passenger side in Rust Bullet.

Today I sanded everything one more time after the Rust Bullet dried. Then Epoxy primered the whole interior. It was actually warm enough outside that I began to sweat a little.

I'm using 5 Star Xtreme primer kit. Same company that makes Xtreme body filler. 
Been really happy with the results to far. The mix is 4 parts primer, 2 parts reducer, 1 part epoxy additive. Then spray.

I'm getting stoked now. I smell car paint in the near future.
