Looking good Shubee. What did you spray the pan with? It looks like it has a texture to it.

Thanks,

The Pans are Sprayed with 3M Rocker Schultz they use it on Porsche,BMW,and others for the rockers and under the front Bumper it is a Paintable chip Proof Coating it looks similar to 3M Undercoat but the paint dose not soak in to it the pan is painted with GM Chassis Paint it is made for frames and bare steel

Are you going to use lead to fill the low spots on the door openings? A bodyman once told me he never uses Bondo on the edge of a door or door jamb. What are your plans? I have this HUGE Snap-On soldering iron that will lay down about a 1/4" at a time, let me know and I'll loan it to you or give you the part number. Filled some pinholes in my roof once, much more control than a torch.
