    Wow, I just finished looking at all your pics. Did they bring back memories from 15 years ago when I did mine. Like you I had a ton of sheet metal work but back then they didn't make all the repair panels they do now. You're doing a beautiful job. Stick with it and you will so happy when it's done. It took me a solid year to get it done. They are never really done. If you are like me, I just can't keep my hands off the car. I'm always changing things.

    FYI... I'd ditch that fan. It's not  uncommon for them to crack and take out the rad.... :scared:

      :iagree:  A thermal clutch  fan works quite nicely.

    Today I sprayed inside the trunk. Sprayed the rear inner fender wells. Hinges for trunk and hood.
    Sprayed inside of front fenders with clear rock guard.

    Busy day.
