Good on you David - 'long live the fifty-ones'!! It will be nice to see your car painted, please post plenty of pics!

It is very handy that you guys can get replacement sheet-metal like rocker panels. (Not available here in Oz . . . and freight is too expensive to have them sent over. I had to have those (and a lot of other parts) made).

I guess you'll be rust-proofing the gap between the old and new metal? If so, what will you use?

That primer - looks like the PPG epoxy-urethane (2-pak) stuff which was what I used on my '51. It's a strange colour for a primer.
