Is that bird pretty rusty? Looks like you have some work done the lower 1/4's

yup it "was" and the sunroof drains just drain into the 1/4 panels and there is no drain for the water to get out, so its actually pretty common, eric got some better pics of the 1/4 panel patch ill see if i can find them
 
So Ford designed these cars without proper sunroof drainage? That sux! With all the fun and games i've had with sunroofs over the years, makes me glad that my Mark doesnt have one! Lol. Nice to see the T bird is making progress anyway...
 
those rockers are not that bad my mark viii was all the rusted from the door handle back underneth and the side and in the wheelhouse make sure you check in the rear wheel house and make sure your vent holes are open under the rockers rustyjones and ziebart use to plug them with there undercoating thats why so many buick gn's and monte carlos use to rust out the rockers
 
ok, been a while, car is still in primer, and more apart, looks like a jeep. its funny how high the car sits stripped like this, those are lowered springs.
i didnt get the color being put down, but i got pics of the clear, so far the underside of the trunk is painted, the underside of the hood, the inside of the doors and the entire car is blocked so should see color anytime between tomorrow (yeah right) or with in the next month

Yes he does...I went there at 7ish and left around 8. He was just starting on the clear when I got there. Dont worry hes got more pics and so do I.
 
ok so heres MY pics lol
all sanded and ready
sealer
i think the color looks even good without any clear
all nice and shiny :D
i understand how painting a car is done but i just think its funny all the work you put in to make it look nice, just to sand it all down then buff it back
should start seeing this car come back together soon, just to rip other parts BACK off
IT NEVER ENDS!!!!!!
