I'm not going to bother everyone with a blow by blow on priming and painting, but one area that had concerned me was the cowl. Using a fiberglass hood and extending the back edge to account for leaning back the grille created some mis-match. The extension of the back edge of the hood was done (shown earlier), but there was some vertical mis-alignment to deal with. Once the supports were adjusted for the body side molding to be straight the hood was high relative to the cowl varying from 1/8" to 1/4"; and because of the extension making the hood slightly wider there was also a mis-match on the sides. With the hood as a guide I used body filler to build up the cowl, and after a couple of hours and a bunch of filler dust it looks 100% better! Passenger side, showing the center - yes, that's a celebratory Corona, 1/2 gone!!

While waiting for filler to dry up front I got the top & trunk blocked out, and I think all of the fill work on the trunk area is done. Tomorrow I'll block the doors & sides, and I know there's a bit of fill on door to body match to get done. Also have some minor filling on the hood side molding area, and some pinholes up front in the fill rolling down to the grill surround. Hoping to have the final primer on Sunday/Monday, then wet block the primer, prepping for paint & clear. I've got to pull the doors and trunk after the body work is done around them, and make some stands to support moving them in & out of the spray booth area. On a good note, the gable mounted fan did a great job pulling fumes out, and I didn't see anything floating around in the air. This might work
