Ok, here’s some body shots…

A few blow holes, nothing that won’t be taken care of with seam sealer, but all in all a good solid repair.

The last shot is a good comparison for everyone who thinks the shell is beat… See the rust at the bottom? That’s one day of surface rust on 100% new metal… The camera REALLY makes it apparent… It’s almost invisible to the naked eye… Same goes for a lot of the “rust” on the car…
