the final panels....

Its not like they're completed, its just the last 2 to strip before sanding filling, priming etc...

Heres the "bonnet" in all its beauty.  Dents , dings, and waves galore.

The 3m stripping wheel is getting a workout.  I'm gong to pick up some rust converter for A LOT of pits in the metal. Every dent and part of the newer paint job that dissipated has pits under them.
The hood will get some body hammer work... Note the crater in the center of the hood.  Right under the support.

Here is the trunk lid.  It came out super shiny with nary a dent.  The only surface rust was at the inner bottom under the trunk lock- showing it was leaking.  Again- rust converter to the rescue.
  All of these will get self etching primer,  then after a day or so of drying, guide coat wet sanding, and red scotch brite before shooting high build primer.  

Did I mention I already got a gallon of paint for it?

 

Guess which one
