Finished up with the rust repair on the floor and firewall. After finishing the floor from the inside you have some areas on the firewall side that don't look good after repairs from the inside. So I decided to clean up that area on the firewall and get some primer on it so I could move forward now with priming and painting the entire firewall.

While the primer was drying I decided to start striping the paint off of the used fenders I bought a week or so ago. Need to get them stripped down so I can do any small body repairs and get them into black primer. I used the Eastwood SCT tool I bought a little over a year ago second-hand from a gentleman in the neighborhood. The wheel on the tool was an 80 grit flap disk and fiber. It took about twenty minutes or so to get it down to bare metal. Leaves the metal ready for filler, does not heat up the metal that cause warping. Win Win.

Pic 3 - a little black primer to seal off the filler work, the runs are from the factory paint which I will sand down before painting
