So, my first attempt at leading. On one hand, I am dreadfully slow. I spent 8 hours in the heat doing the front and back seams on the left rocker. On the other hand, I am pleased with the results.
A repeat of the previous post's tinned photo and a finished LR seam shows the work. The LF was done as well today. A final shot shows the view down the side.
The only way I could be happier about this is if I were a lot quicker at it.

Another example of diminishing returns. The area "de-rusted" in the photos from the 17th show good results, but this took hours. Since the heat is on and apparently here to stay, squirting paint will be months from now. I decided to stop working on the floor, rearrange the schedule (yes, I do have one - I am just way behind!), and do the rockers, doors, and trunk lid.
The left rear seam of the rocker was cleaned and tinned. Ready for lead.

The abrasive disc and other manual abrasive methods have given good results. But now they are producing diminishing returns. A lot of work today for little apparent progress. I did test shoot a couple of spots with the blaster. The car will move outside and get the floor blasted in the near future.
