another round of blocking and high build primer. The engine bay is probably paint ready (for most shops) so I’ll let it sit for a few days, then block and prime it again.

I like what you did with the firewall. Gives it a little “character”!

Good eye. I wanted to give it some definition and style line. Should really pop with some Bimini Blue paint once I’ve tweaked it

It requires you to go there and put in a day or two worth of sanding before you get a tour.
