Gerahead's 71 Dart

Since the predicted rain held off for today, I abandoned the fender extensions for now and started on the fenders. Wow, 4-1/2 hours to do the outside of the passengers' fender and I still have to spot blast a couple of small areas that I couldn't reach with anything else.
An interesting find is that once I got away from the outside facing surfaces of the fender, there was no primer or no sealer under the paint. Just the factory paint laid down right over the bare sheet metal. Even in the front substructure where the headlight buckets mount, no primer! That kinda surprised me. Cost saving decisions I'm sure!
