Well done!!!

Thank you for all the support and compliments guys! Today was an absolute perfect day - bright blue skies, sunny all day long, and temps in the 70’s. Just what I was hoping for and needed to get Olds Cool cleaned up before it’s date with the booth.
First up, I began by warming the car up in the garage, then backed it out into the alley and gave it a real good blow off inside and out. Man she was dusty! I had borrowed a pressure washer from a friend, so I hooked it all up to the garden hose and gave under the hood, inside the wheelwells, and the wheels and tires themselves a thorough blasting.
Inside all the doors, jambs, cowl, trunk gutters etc all got a good cleaning and drying with some mild soap and water and a couple of microfibre towels. The primed and sanded surfaces all got a gentle but thorough wipe down with clean water on a damp towel as well.
This thing almost looks like a whole different car now!!!
It’s looking great from nearly every angle, even despite being all torn down. It definitely put a smile on my face seeing it all cleaned up and knowing it’s ready to paint.
Once it was all nice and clean again (it’s been over a year and a half since the last time that happened), I snapped the pictures I promised y’all, and even took a 360 degree video with it idling.
Hope you enjoy.
What a great day.

That car looks fantastic in primer, never mind a fresh coat of paint. In fresh paint it will be automotive art!
Thank you, I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out so far!
As well you should be, Donovan, with so much of your time and effort spent getting that car straight as can be.
Wow! Simply amazing Donovan. Can't wait to see it all painted. You should be very proud of all the work that you've done to that car.
