    Lid fits fine, there is an issue with the body along the rear where the latch mounts, it is flimsy. We are going to reinforce it. We did use the Tim Whitteaker gas shock kit but only to stabilize the work done.

    Guys made a ton of progress today. Got the roof premiered and got a long way towards finishing the paint prep. We found the rear of the car was very weak around the trunk latch so we built a shelf to help structurally.

    Thanks Seth,

    I think 35_40 has been through it . It has been interesting to see the steps involved. My understanding is that it is inherently wavy, some worse than others. Stage I was to sand and find the low spots then fill them. Stage II was to find the larger seam gaps and structural areas that needed reinforcing. The idea was that it wasn't cool to just use filler. Next Stage is to finish filling and sanding low and high areas and to trim up the gaps closed by the fiberglass stage. Then they will shoot it with a primer coat and start all over looking for high and low spots. At least that is the way I understand it. Kory may step in and slap me. I wish I had not put the interior in, probably will end up redoing it entirely.

    Tremendous progress this week. Got her in the primer booth this afternoon. Should start shaping up fast now.

    Kind of a neat old Buick with a straight 8.

    So today the team at 121 Rod and Restoration finished the pre prep work and masked the car off for priming. I was very happy with the strengthening of the trunk and the window area on top of the doors.
