Oooooo Shiny!

After about 10 hours of sanding and 6 hours of painting with a 2" brush, this is the result:






The exterior side of the rear wheel wells and the floor bottom are still unpainted.  I will turn it bottoms-up this week to finish it off, but the bulk of the tricky work is done.  The rust encapsulation paint is brush-on only: hard to get into some of those tight spaces, but the finish is very hard and smooth.  This coat is only a primer, and there is a fair bit of body filler work to be done.  I have decided to only use filler where there are still pinholes in the metal or the finished chassis will be exposed to view, but to let her retain her "battle scars" under her clothing.
