Next on the to do list is clean out the old seam sealer in the drip edge around the roof. A small flat blade screw driver & a rotary wire brush attachment in a variable speed drill worked well for that job. Then a tube of the same seam sealer I used on the new floor boards. Smooth it out with a small cloth dampened with a little mineral sprits.

I thought I had one dent in the exterior roof over the rear window, but once I started working on it, I found that there were numerous small dents that needed repair. Most likely hail damage from years past. Nothing serious, just time consuming. After a thin skim of body filler, several coats actually, with sanding between coats with a in line sander, it was looking good. Then several coats of hi build primer to fill any scratches or pin holes in the body filler and the roof was ready for sealer primer & 3 coats of Brite White acrylic enamel with hardner.

While I was at it I taped off the left & right out side mirror stems & new replacement mirror heads & shot them as well.

Just as an fyi. These photos are from April 7th 2023. I'll keep posting from my photos on my phone & my memory till I get caught up, then I'll post as I get more done.
