nice job - I like the rotisserie - I was planning on building one and was looking at the dimensions on the rottisserie thread - I like the way yours attaches at the rear - any special dimensions or did you use 21" and 23" for the lengths and 30 degrees for the angles - just curuious

it's a good sand able primer that has some build and is also a sealer |

The primer is Finish1 (FP415) it is a high build primer and can be thinned and used as a sealer
The primer offers a high film build, excellent gloss holdout, and excellent sanding characteristics. |

After having read this thread I finally made up my mind to order the funky green panels from Gerson. I'll be doing Rockers and a floor patch inside the cargo doors on a '66 Sundial Camper. Just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration, motivation, and pictures that helped me decide to take the plunge!

That's an understatement. 
That long panel took forever to get strait.
It is now straighter than factory. but that's not saying mutch

Thanks,
I’m about another month or so before I put color on it. I still have more detail work to do like adding the safari brackets, welding up some holes on the bulkhead finish the front doors. ……..
Also I am going to take it to the upholsteries shop to have them remove what is left of the headliner so they can reinstall a new one after paint.
But right now I am going through the transmission and front beam so I can get it back on the ground.
