Tonight it got it's second coat of primer. All the body work is finished except some minor details on the underside of the bonnet and a stuburn weld warp on one of the rockers.
Tomorrow I get to hand block it again but with 320 grit this time. I was hoping to have it painted by Christmas but this will not happen. I still have 5-7 nights of sanding and I still have to do some Christmas shopping and all that sort of real life stuff so the 58 has to wait.
All the other parts are powdercoated, new, rebuilt, painted and assembled waiting to be bolted on.
I did recover and finish the dash but I still have not started on the interior. But that should only take a week at best once I start it. I need a painted car to start the interior. Engine rebuilt and ready to drop in. 5 speed tranny needs to be cleaned up a tad and it's ready.
Rear axle, front end, all the brakes, heat, wipers, and misc bits are all finished. It should take a week to assemble it once it's painted. I will be driving it by February for sure. About a month later than I thought. But it was rough.

Now it's gray but will be white in a couple weeks.
