Okay, I've jumped ahead past the repairs and modifications. At this point, everything was in primer and ready to be sanded with a longboard to make it totally flat. You can see the fogged guide coat, which helps show imperfections as primer is sanded. This dirty, thankless, time-consuming process is repeated until the body is absolutely straight, and it's what makes quality paintwork so expensive. On a car as long as the AirWagon, leaving just a couple of waves in a quarter panel can make you seasick!
