Looking great=) Why weren't the bay and inside of the trunk resprayed if you went to all of the hassle of getting the bodywork perfect otherwise?

It started as a patch job and we found too much rust. It wasn't supposed to be a complete respray. When we realized we had to respray I decided to go with a more modern color. The engine wasn't pulled, so there isn't any reason to try spraying it. Maybe in the future I might want to pull it and at that point I'll color match.

The trunk will be sprayed to match. There was a lot of clean up still needed, as the previous owner sprayed bed liner stuff in there. It's almost all clean now and will be sprayed when it goes back for a final buffing.

I'll take better pictures later of the primer, I got overspray on my phone lol, and I was tired that's why they look out of focus.
