Body Work on roof, passenger side and rear panel is close enough for a high build primer.

This is the condensed version.... There has been a lot of other stuff that almost had me throw in the towel. Like when I pulled the "T" trim out of the roof joint and found the joint so rotted that I had to seal weld the complete joint. Or like after I chopped and fitted the door passenger side door that looked awesome outside but was a wreck with wide ass gaps on the inside. I had to "clad" the jam to make it look right......
