Had a beautiful weekend so I spent several hours stripping the inside. Aaron gets the credit for this part.

Did you hypnotize me into doing some paint stripping for you? 
I'd be lying if I said I missed stripping paint, esp from the inside.

Ok, all floor pans in! I did some all metal underneath, but have a question. It's too danged cold to spray epoxy primer. I've got a kerosene powered salamander to heat the garage up, but will the kerosene fumes affect the epoxy?

Smoothing the seams
Quarters have to go. Apparently, bondo is what is used to seal between the drops and quarters lately.

I did pick up some rims for the car. Outlaw II. 15x7's front and 15x8's rear. Powdercoated silver/grey. Now just need suspension so I can install.

SPI epoxy ordered! Any last minute tips/hints before I spray? I'm thinking of getting the U-pol Raptor as well and spray the whole bottom. Not like I'm going to put mirrors under the car, right?

If you go with the raptor be carful as there are 2 different ones. One come black from the get go and the other is tint able.

Thanks Robert. I probably would have missed that. I have some in a cart ready to order. Going to check that now.

Not a problem, I made the mistake of getting the tint able, so it cost me money in the long run.

Well, as usual, plans go awry. I wanted to get the bottom in SPI this weekend, but the air temp barely made it to the mid 50's. I have all my suspension pieces (subframe, leaf spring pockets, control arms) hanging from the rafters in the ready.
I have a salamander (kerosene heater) that I could run in the shed long enough to get the heat up, and then run electric heaters after spraying. Will the residue from the heater mess up my spraying? I feel like Ohio just doesn't want me to make any progress.
I did coat my rear end with rust encapulator. Looks Great! It'll head to the storage building waiting to be filled with goodies...
HOpe all had a great weekend.
