Progress on the '67 Coupe

Well, I was able to get quite a few hours of work done today on the '67 Coupe project. I finally cut out the remaining section of the inner windshield post and welded in the patch section I had from a donor car.
I know this does not sound like allot of work, but trust me, it took several hours to get it done. I was also able to get this patch and the inside of the door post section coated with some of the black PPG Omni Epoxy primer.

Epoxy is some really nasty stuff, but it coats very well. I used a cheap disposable paint brush to apply it instead of spraying, but it works just as well. This being my first time using anything like this, I mixed up too much. I did put a cover on the mixing cup, but not sure if it will still be usable by the time I get back in the garage. Oh well I guess I can chalk it up to lessons learned. Here's a few before and after pics of the repair.
