Jason, you are doing such an incredibly thorough job on this restoration with virtually nothing overlooked, that I have to ask...

Maybe it's just the reflection in the pictures, but it looks like many of the parts that were rusty/pitted (frame, engine pulleys, alternator bracket) that you have stripped them and just painted over the pits. Why are you not doing more to fill the pits in on these parts before you put the final paint coat on them? I know it may be more time consuming, but certainly within your ability. Pitted parts just seem to scream out on an otherwise so nicely done car. Or maybe I'm just the only one who notices stuff like that -- would it be considered "over restoring"...?

Anyway, I admire the attention to the details you're putting into it, and enjoy watching your progress. This car was lucky to have been found by you.
