that metal and rust looked like it was ugly to repair, but car looks good with all the primer and straight sheet metal now. Is the next pictures we see going to be the color on the car?

thanks alot road/track. the white stuff is 3M seam sealer. nothing really special. i do this on all the seams in the whole car. the factory used an aplicator with a brush attatchment. i just use my fingers. but i have in the past used a damp brush to get the same look. anyways, here is todays update........anyways, you get the idea.
