Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

A few days ago I got home the fenders from the paint shop. Now I have a
room full of painted parts.

Time to get busy with the body. block sanding with 180 grit, then 320 on the
orbital sander and 400 grit hand sanding paper for the details.
Of course I found some areas that needed more filler.

When the body work was done it was time to paint the door jambs and the
insides of the roof and doors.

Out of the garage for a small drive. When we reached the paved road, my son
towed me to the paint shop, some three miles away

At noon today I was done taping and covering the parts not going to be painted.
Kim was already mixing up the paint when I had to leave for work at about noon.
And yes, Kim is a man's name in Swedish.
