Cool, homestretch. You need to crack the whip on Chuck and his SWMBO and make them work faster.

Stan,

Progress is great and seems to be steady. It shouldn't be too much longer now.

Curious....

When you installed the side mirrors.... did you apply a dab of sealant to the threads of the screws? Doing so protects the bare metal surface created from drilling into the metal of the door. In theory the mirror's base gasket should keep water from the underside of the mirror, but it usually doesn't.

Definitely did the sealant! With the amount of rust the body shop got rid of, I didn't want any more! It was kind of scary seeing a hole drilled into that new paint. LOL
