I spent alot and i mean alot of hours underneath the car,I stripped the entire underneath,wheel wells,engine bay,body wow alot of time and
there where alot of repairs underneath so i ended up taking the DA
to the underneath and other areas hand blocking,looking back should have painted it the color of the car.Firewall had a large hole where it looked like they drilled with a hole saw to get to a bell housing bolt and a couple 1/2 cracks.They also had cut a hole above differetial to remove
the differetial without removing the crossmember.It looks good.

You have some guts painting all those parts off the car with that color. Hope it works out for you.

I trust him he has worked at a dealership and ran his own
Body shop for years.If it ain't perfect it won't leave there.
He painted my Split Window and did some blending due to some
Scratches on my 66 did an awesome job.
We will see
