This is why I hate body work. It's "lather, rinse, repeat" ... but like a thousand times over. Each time you go through, you say to yourself, "Okay, it's nice and smooth and done and I can go on to the next step" ... and you run your hand over it, and you find just one more little fiddly bit ... and then another... 
I suspect this is why we see so many project cars for sale where the mechanicals are mostly done, but the body isn'y even close. Kudos to you for sticking through it!

Ok it is all back in primer but i have found a few small things i need to fix like one door skin in a 90 degree corner and the driver side front fender has a small lump that needs sanding and a few pin holes and i am not sure i like the roof as it has a dip from where i joined it back together it seems no matter what i think it is never done and i can find something

Wow glad i got this back in primer yesterday as it cooled down and would be too cold to spray again and the weather is not looking good for the next few days but should be good for the weekend
