Updates? well 2 weeks ago I spent a whole week doing final sanding even got my dad to stop by and partake in the fun.

I got it all done and was hoping to have it painted by now, I had even taken a vacation day 2 fridays ago to get it done. I cleaned the garage and mixed up my sealer but on that day It turned cold like 50 degrees. My paint needs to be at least 70 for it to properly dry. and with no end in sight till next spring for some warmer 70 degree weather (at least over night) I opted to put in one of those big max heaters.

I had a blue flame "vent free" heater in the garage but each year it gets a little more stinkier in the garage and I wasnt going to run that thing for 12 hours. so I spent a week installing that. but now its all in and working good and hopefully I will get it all painted in the next 2 days I hope so cause i mixed up another cup of sealer.
