Default Finally! Frame is painted and body in primer!!

After a lot of sanding, welding, repairing old patch panels, the frame is finally painted. I got the frame painted and covered up and started on the body. After a couple of weeks repairing some old work done by the po, it got a couple of good heavy coats of epoxy primer this morning. Now on to the fenders and running boards.

I'm at a similar place with my 4 dr. It's a great feeling isn't it? Good luck with it!

Looking Good, but I think your whitewalls are on backwards

Thanks guys. Now for the fun part....block sanding. Can't wait. Think I'll shoot some paint over the white walls.. NOT! Tires and rims will be the last thing on the list. So far it has been a blast. Hope to get it into color before the end of summer and finish it over the winter.

A suggestion:

On the front cross member there is a raised boss where the ground strap for the battery attaches. Clean all paint and primer off so that it is bright shiny metal. This will provide a good ground when the battery is installed.
