Final primer and sealer

 After many months the body work is coming to an end!  It is incredible to see the Chevelle looking like a car again - I know there is lots of work left to put it all back together, but the big parts are back in place.
 Lot's of pictures in this update so you can see all of the great work Jack's team has done to knock out the rust. First is the back panel that set us back a year trying to find one that was rust free or fit will.  Just about everything you see between the tail lights was hand built.






 Everything underneath and inside is coated in bed liner for rust protection and sound control.  It also covers over my work on the floor.













Everything assembled for final fit and sanding.  I'm thankful Specialized has the patience to put it together and take it apart dozens of times, because I would have just said paint it.  Everything lines up perfect.  They set Jill up with degreaser and taught her how to wet sand primer.  Nice to know she had a part in the paint, even if it was 5 min out of months.
