Finally, some visible progress besides drilling holes. The NOS fenders have been blocked with 220 and are now in first 2 coats of sealer/primer. I brought the left door home and put it on the car, as it had a high area just below the style line. There had been a deep crease there that I metal worked out most of the way, but it had too much filler yet and needed to be on the car to be sanded down to match the quarter. Got that done too.
The "prep" booth worked really well. We were supposed to turn the air flow off while spraying but had it on during cleaning and tacking the parts and forgot to turn it off. It doesn't expel the filtered air out of the booth, it blows it out the top of the machine and creates a current that sends it back to the floor and back thru the filters again. Fortunately, I had the room clean enough that it didn't pick up any sizable dirt and drop it on the parts, that we saw. "Feeling" with our hands before block sanding may prove there is some, but it has to be very small.
Overall, happy to be moving forward again.
