Hey coupman, your car is looking great. You made some good progress in a short time. Did you do some sandblasting to get your inside ready for paint?
I sandblasted mine, but did a sloppy job and now i am having to do a lot of hand sanding to get it cleaned up for primer. Keep us posted on your progress. :bigsmile:
