After spraying 3 coats of primer, I use one of those $10 Harbor Freight purple guns for primer, when they get too bad to clean, I just get a new one.
Unmasked with a black guide coat. The guide coat is for when I sand the primer, it helps to find any low spots and to keep the body line where you want it.
And this is where I'm at for now, of course, when I went to back the car out to clean the garage, when I pushed the clutch pedal I heard a pop, and now I've got almost no clutch. I think the quadrant broke, I can start the car in gear and the clutch engages as soon as I start to let the pedal up, but if I start the car in neutral, I cant put it in any gear. I'll take a better look at it tomorrow.
One more picture, this is one of the donor sections I have for the strut tower/rail repair. Clean Foxbodys are hard to come by around here, they are either super nice, or rusty like my car, any clean rollers or parts car go for more cash than I have in this one, and I can't think of the last time I saw a Fox in a junkyard. I was at the local Pull-a-part with my nephew getting some stuff for his truck, and I saw a 2002 new edge with all the front sheet metal gone, I studied it for a while and came to the conclusion that the rails are either the same, or close enough to make something work, and the strut towers are at least the same at the bottom where they are welded to the rail. So I came back the next day and unbolted the k-member with the motor and everything still attached, I let that hit the ground and cut both rails out with a cordless Sawzall. I'm 99% sure this is going to work, and I will do my best to document it, the boneyards are full of new edges, so hopefully this will be a way to save some Foxes.
