Since the weather for Thursday thru Saturday will be 70 or a little above, I have been putting extra hours into the interior and trunk to have it in paint this week.  :banana:
Thursday-epoxy prime
Friday - Seam Seal
Saturday - Color

All primered and seam sealed!!! Are there any places in the photos that I may have missed that gets seam sealer as well?

It's not easy being green!

Well it got dry enough I went ahead and removed the tape. I'm definitely pleased with how it turned out, even with the seam sealer gooping in some places. This was the last big project for the year I wanted to accomplish . Now I can relax and enjoy a beer or 5 lol. Definitely feel like I accomplished a good bit this season for it being my first ever restoration.

Since work in a garage is pretty much at a stand still until spring. I decided to tackle the heater box.

The trunk and floors turned out great! 

I just did the heater box too.  It was gross.  Lots of scrubbing and cleaning the thing.  My first one.  I took lots of pictures and took my time.  Wasn't fun but wasn't horrible.  My car is non a/c though.

Thank you for all the kind words everyone! I definitely feel like I'm going above and beyond my skill level most of the time working on it and just getting lucky haha! And @dodj You can keep that nonsense! Speaking of Thunder Bay I'm heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow to watch my Pens play and I believe Matt Murray is from there.
