You're lucky you live in Arizona.
If you were in Wisconsin the whole thing would be orange with surface rust by now.

It has a slight haze right now, but you can barely see it. She will use the drum sander with 320 finishing drum and go over the whole thing, it sands off nicely with that. Then, epoxy primer will be sprayed right after. But anyway, yes, we are lucky in the south west

So much work. Roof of 80. Filled holes from roof rack

Hats off to you...super nice work going on there!

More from today

I had always thought there was no way I could ever remove the liner from my 80. Thanks to this thread, I am now sure it can never be removed. Yeesh so much willpower here. I need a nap after looking at this thread.

Great work so far. I was considering lining my 80, but now I am not so sure. I don't know that I want to put up the coin to have it painted, though.

Again, nice work!

More prep

Epoxy Primer mostly sprayed on today. I’m new to all of this, so Kelly gave me lots of guidance. Lots of hard work today!!!

Looking fantastic! and I'll echo everyone else that has complimented you on the time and effort put into this. One personal note, I hope you will keep the B and C pillars black like the standard US spec 80s. Looking forward to seeing what color you choose.

Good call! I've seen a couple re-paints, etc, doesn't look right for some reason to me.
