Needed to go one step backward on the trunk lid to get it the same level as the rest of the body.
That one part has been quite alot more work than it should have been.
If I could go back in time, I'd have used polyester primer on it which would have helped me get it right, faster.
Lesson learned.

It's almost all blocked out to P320 except below the character line on the right side, which I should get done over the next couple days.

Above the character line all the cut throughs to metal and underlying layers of epoxy have been addressed with fresh epoxy and more 2k urethane surfacer, to give the final P600 something to work with.
That can all sit there, outgas and shrink for awhile.

Will need to do the same to the lower body areas as well.

Still need to address lower grille support, have not done anything yet and will probably prep my original part.

I already look at it, even like this, and can't hardly believe it's mine.
It's looked like hot garbage for over a decade now and I both hated it and was adjusted to it at the same time.

It's probably going to feel a little strange to not be able to throw wrenches at it anymore like I used to, and to have to cover the fenders with blankets and stuff when working on it.
I'm looking forward to the change, though.
