63 Wagon 409 Project

[Tex63]

Ok, I jumped the gun updating my avatar with a current picture after showing shot from October 2013 when I bought the wagon in my intro a few days ago. Lots happened in the past 14 months, here's the day I dropped of with Rex for paint & body and another the day it came back home, I'll post what happened in between next week. From flat black to bare metal found 11 coats of paint and primer, then refinished with silver blue metallic and ermine white.

Prepping the doors, all four needed patch in both bottom corners. Didn't get picture of metal work, just the after version with minimal filler.
