Finally...

Ok, so finally I feel I've gotten something done to the Cortina. I guess since my last post, I've been working over the same 1/4 panel for almost 3 weeks. Every time I thought I was close, my instructor found highs and lows. It finally had gotten to the point that I was sanding different layers of filler, at different speeds/cuts that we decided to put the thing in primer, that way I can block the primer and not the filler. Although when all was said and done, the 1/4 is pretty damn straight.
Working on the 1/4 I figured I might as well finish working on the sill. So that was blocked and straightened.
A picture before the primer was shot. I shot the 1/4 with my Valspar 21N high build primer. The primer was starting to go bad, since I had it for about 2 years, and I guess the can wasn't sealing completely well, so we baiscally mixed the rest of my gallon, which was 3/4 full, and shot my car and a classmates El Camino.
Finally the primer is shot! I realize now after looking at this picture that maybe I should have masked my wheels and tires as well...but oh well! It's not like those are going to be the wheels I'll be rolling on anyways!

Final product in primer. I'm just happy that the body is now straight, and the body lines are where they should be. I'm finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Now time to take the roof back to bare metal, and once that's in primer, time to block the whole car again! oh the joy!
