[Spridgets] Holy Sprite update

Since the blitz last weekend, I have been working on some of the heavy 
body work.
You know the stuff that needs Taco Bell wrappers as backers and fillers ;)
I primed the whole car today and that showed many imperfections all over 
the car.
More dolly work along the back near the tail lamps, lots of minor dents 
and dings, and a few pimples in the bonnet.
Nothing out of the ordinary and it is better than most of my projects 
but it will need another weeks worth of bondo and
sanding before the filler/primer goes on and then I can start with some 
180 grit and block sand.
I am still hoping for a late October final paint job so we should be on 
schedule.
Now that it's cooler at night and I can get upstairs in the garage, I 
have been glass beading and powder coating some of the smaller parts so 
they will be ready for the final assembly.
98% of the parts are here now and I have spoken to the guy who will 
cover the seats and will have them finished before the next
Holy shit session where we will assemble the car.
I have set up a side trip for who ever wants to go to the local glass 
shop where Mike will show us how to install a Bugeye windshield glass in 
the frame. This will be on a Saturday in early Nov when we assemble the 
Holy Sprite.
