Great thread, I have almost read most of it!

What are your plans for under the car (floors / chassis / diff)?

Cheers
Lyndon

The underside will all get painted black. Nothing to exciting there.

First blocking of the car since all the major body work has been completed. So far it is looking really good. A couple of high spots and some very shallow low spots found on some of the areas I haven't touched yet. All of the areas where I did the panel replacement and major dent repair is looking really good.

Did some more blocking and sanding tonight. Also decided it was time to go big or go home and start the process of removing the front and rear windows. This basically means the car is going to be non-driviable until the car is painted.

So started with the removable of all the window stainless. Some of their pieces were caked with dirt behind them, and other showed evidence of caulking used to seal a water leak. Area around the front window looks pretty good, rear window has a lot of surface rust and pits.

Sure it was a pain, but you will be so glad that you did that later on. The car is looking really good.
