Front cowl area, In progress...
Rear apron getting worked.
Getting there...
Freshly torn apart and re-painted
Ive actually got my entire shell under primer now, except for the rear apron.... These pics are a week or two old. Really just going over the car now to fix little spots here and there.
Just sprayed a '73 Thing we've been building, so now its the Notch's turn in there. ( Phone pics..)

Bolting on a few bits and peices.... My flash makes it look like the paint is a metallic orange.... 
Dusty ass raders!
Also ran into an issue with the little nub on Varga calipers.... but that was a quick fix.
