I had the rims blasted a long time ago and had primed them. I sprayed the base clear on them while I was doing the engine. I'll take them Monday to get the new raised white letter tires put on.

Yesterday I re seam sealed the floorboards cause the old seam sealer was falling out. I also seam sealed around my repaired seat belt anchors just in case there was a tiny hole I missed from welding. I taped off the car today and poured some Rust Oleum bed liner in my sand blasting pot gun. I shot it at 120psi without a regulator. It sprayed real nice but it is slow drying. This is causing my seam sealer edges to wrinkle up and loosen from the floor. I have used Dupli Color bed coatings in the past without issues but the Rust Oleum was a bit cheaper. Now I got to scrape off the areas where the sealer let go and redo it again. Every time I have used Rust Oleum products, they are very slow drying. So basically, I'm never using their products again.
Got the tires mounted and put them on the car. I tried to get the picture to show the color on the wheels but its hopeless. The color in the sun is awesome.
Coming along nicely so far. I assume the wheel color will be the body color. It should look sharp. Keep up the good work.
Can't work on it tomorrow. Its Hot Rod magazines drag week starting at my local track. Its 15 minutes away and not going to miss it. 8)
Not much to report. Been blocking the car and fixing all the low spots. Its a spotted mess now with yellow urethane primer spots on it. 
If I can ever get this thing painted and color sanded and buffed, it will go fast on putting it back together.

You're right, not an exciting update. But necessary and well worth the extra effort. Can't wait to see the finished product.
