I appreciate the words guys, I needed them.. I will take the advice on celebrating the small feats as well. I will be back with updates asap!
The next few steps include:
Sealing the weld inside the fender with epoxy as well as the whole inside of the fender. Structural adhesive on the weld line and then 2 more coats of epoxy primer so I will be ready to seal her shut.
Finish the wheel arch skin and the lower arch skin under the door.
Replace the bottom lip on the d/s door as well as the final 2 holes from the mirror on the d/s door.
Going to have the rear quarter glass removed, then clean the interior with degreaser, epoxy the interior, replace the seam sealer and then 2 more coats of epoxy.
That should keep me busy for a while lol. Once the body work is finished I can finally start throwing everything back into it!
I have also reconsidered the color choice slightly, it isn’t a big change and I have to respray the firewall and some of the undercarriage again anyway.
Patriot blue pearlcoat up top (slightly darker than my original color choice, more flake in this one too!) and then diamond black pearl lower. Going to paint it two tone and will have the raptor wrap the rocker and up to about 2-3” of the bottom of the doors. I haven’t decided if I will paint it myself or have the shop I do a lot of work with at my day job do it.. Don’t hate me for the Chrysler colors lol, I love their flake..
