Late Saturday evening a got a coat of primer on one of the fenders.

I was a little worried about re drilling the hole for the stainless trim, but looks like it worked out good.

The trim clip fits and lines up just like the other factory holes.

Also was able to put a coat of high build primer on both of the front fenders, but had to hurry and drag the fenders inside due to rain.

this is proof that some of the best work

is done in shops behind someones house,...

just like kaiserjeeps,... that built Sadie the wagoneer

and to repeat my favorite saying,...

"nothing beats human determination"

( or any kind of determination/ambition from anything )

In a little less than a month I was able to do all the body work, rust repair, and high build primer on four doors, two front fenders, and a tailgate. That's like four days per body part!!!!! And also did the relocation of the tailgate latch holes. I'am not the most focused person, so yes this is a big pat on the back for me!!!

I blocked out all the panels twice and put one more coat of high build primer and guild coat. I will block all the panels one more time with 600 grit before painting.

POR15 inside the tailgate too.

Also picked the best access cover for the tailgate, cleaned and primed it, and a bunch of other stuff.

The primer on your access cover for the tailgate and a bunch of other stuff looks different than the other primer you have been using on body panels, dash, etc. Is it?

[Full Size Jeeper]

Yes, it is self etching primer for applying directly to bare metal. After the fact, I talked to a few guys that have used high build primer on bare metal and had no problem. I had a quart and used it. Hope I don't have a problem with it.

Hood, front fenders, and tailgate are painted. Will probably repaint the quarters next.
