This is going to be one cool ride! Remids me of another thread I followed for awhile but it was a nova. Keep up the good work.

Got the fenders, header panel, and deck lid 180 blocked. Wiped them down and shot on my black primer. I had to media blast the back/underside of the header cause it had flaking paint. I coated it pretty good with the primer. I may paint the car Monday. Its supposed to be 62 degrees.
Spent a couple hours 180 sanding the underside of the deck lid. I had removed the old seam sealer cause it was falling off. Got it re seam sealed and tomorrow it will get final prime. The Caprice aero mirrors were road blasted pretty bad so I used Aircraft paint remover on them and got them clean and bare. I also prepped the plastic tail filler panel that the license plate bracket bolts to. These will be final primed tomorrow too. So far its looking good for paint on Monday but there is a lot of wet sanding to do
The wind is blowing real hard. I had my fenders on saw horses outside in the grass and it blew them over. It did not do anything because the ground is soft. Don't know if I can wet sand the car today. Its cold too. I started 180 sanding the mirror bodys after I Chemical stripped them. The castings are rough from the factory. I spent about an hour on them with fine metal files and then more 180. I rounded all the sharp edges and smoothed them real nice. They both had sunk in spots on the top edge so I have body filler on them.
Looking good, are you using an epoxy primer or a urethane/high build for final wet block? We used a urethane over Evercoat high build to final block instead of a thinned epoxy or sealer on the Lincoln and it made for a nice base for the single stage color.
