Portdawg was over for dinner and I got the clear coat put on the body. All i need to do is wetsand and its ready for the new weather stripping. While out there my wife did not believe me that the paint job was the same and long story short dinged my headlight cover to the primer and I have to repaint it. I will try and touch it up but i get a feeling that I will have to sand and start all over again.

Just cant win sometimes.

Here are some pics of my progress that I have made. I have recovered from the head lamp cover debacle. My next step is to wetsand the pieces painted and start on the rear fenders and fascia. And get the weather stripping and the interior of the car back together.
