That is body filler over the fiberglass repair i made. I felt it was pretty strong when i got done. Car has been primed again and wet sanded out at 400grit. Now after sanding its dirty and has a film on it. Can i was the car or is that a no no?

A little update. I went back and reprimered the whole car. Im happy with the results this time around seemed to lay down smoother. I am in the process of wet sanding for topcoat. Should see color in a week or so.

More photos also included is a steering column rebuild. This column started life as a column shift. But after shaving the shifter nub its looks like a floor shift.

I assume the fenders are loosely mounted for painting? I ask because the gaps are way off on the driver's side.
You are doing great work and a lot of it. This stuff takes so much time but when its finally done you'll be glad you went the extra distance.

Yes the fenders are just sort of hanging. I still need to jamb it when im done so i I didnt set the gaps or anything yet so I can do the front part of the jambs. Yes lots of work. Ive been stuck on this stage for over a month. I only get a few hours here and there to work on it. But I got about 75% of the car wet sanded out at 600. Still need to do the truck lid, roof.

Paint day!!!! :happy: Im happy with the results. Its looking better the more it dries. So far no runs that I can see. Thanks for all the help. Especially you 68 Coronet. I got a fair amount of orange peel but all in all not bad.
