Finally[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] got some primer on the car today.
I have already bought some epoxy primer thinking it would do a better job of sealing up a few areas that had surface rust. I not sure if I am...

That second picture you posted with the hood ornament lit up is killer. The new brakes and engine aren't bad either. Nice car!
