When I was a kid I watch a fellow paint a car with Kirby Vacuum Cleaner. Well that not the best way to go. He smear grease on the window's and windshield and that not a good idea also. That car was a mess.

Wait for a day when the breeze is blowing in the opposite direction as the overhead door then blow out all that primer and bondo dust off the floor. Better yet, a calm day with no wind. Might even be best to hose down the floor right before shooting.
Raise the back end of that top off the floor on a sawhorse.
Good luck.

Looking good. Here is a picture of my 55 ford Ranch Wagon. I am waiting for the weather to cool down so I can get it on the road. Runs great.

Why wait? Both my '55 Courier and my '55 Fairlane sedan (both factory stock) have been on the road in every extreme weather condition from searing heat of 100 degrees plus to ice, sleet and snow, usually on highways.
And they're still going.

Its not the wagon I am concerned about. Its my wife and I (Mostly my wife )that can't handle the heat inside a car where the outside temperature is 115 degrees and no AC.
Hopefully by next summer I will have a nice Vintage Air AC system in this wagon.

I have the same situation as poolplayer1, heat is too much for the wife. Have to admit it bothers me as well. Just don't see the need to put up with it. Been doing this since 1980 and have a little over 200 rod run plaques so I guess I can say, been there, done that, what's next!
