The priming and block sanding process continues.

Shown here with the lower quarter panels attached so they could be sanded on the car. When doing body work and sanding, some panels need to be worked on as they fit to the car. In this case the lower quarter panels are very floppy and hard to work on off of the car. When tightening the bolts on the panels, the panels are put under stress and change shape a little.

The body is shown here in primer again. The red over-spray look on the primer is called a “guide coat”.

Here the body is shown after being wet sanded with 400 grit wet/dry.

Masked and ready for paint.

Finally it’s painted. The original color is called Lima Tan. The color changes quite a bit under different lighting. Here it’s under fluorescent shop lights.

The color here is a lot different in the spray booth under daylight fluorescents.
