Sanding Shell – 7/4/2015

Took the last week off from work to work on the Camaro. Some things took longer than I had thought and I found some more work to do before priming.  I was able to access the roof and inside by rotating the car on the rotisserie without having to get in the car to access.  Everything has been manually sanded or scuffed and wiped clean with wax & grease remover:

I do want to touch-up the patch panel from the bottom of the car (re-welding) before priming.  Welding from the inside was difficult accessing with the welder at the right angles and will be easier from the bottom.  Plus there is already some existing welding to add on to.

The drivers side toe-board I want to hit with some POR-15 floor & trunk restoration kit before priming to fix some pin holes and pitting:

Right now I am cleaning and organizing the garage for the next weekend or two before getting back to work on the car.
