Where would I get some of that weld through primer in Winnipeg? All the places I have asked about it have no idea what I am talking about. Does it go by a different name?

Have you checked with any autobody supply places?  It should be readily available through them, especially in a city the size of Winnipeg.  Check your yellow pages for autobody supplies and if you can't find one contact an autobody shop and ask them where to find it.  Chase autobody supplies has its head office in Winnipeg and any of their outlets should have it.  You can call them at (204) 633 4576 or toll free at 1-800-486-3111.  That's where I got mine from.

priya, im impressed with your Eagle. I've been following it for a while now, and after a brief absence from the site...I've come back to a masterpiece unfolding here! Love the changing color paint...GENIOUS. I still say you deserve AMC Eagle Nest Member of the Year. We should do something like that. I'd vote for you  :)

I got some pictures of the car today with the clear coat on.  These first two are from first thing this morning when the car was still in the booth.  The actual colours are a little darker than they appear in these pictures:



The next pictures we got late this afternoon and unfortunately after sitting out of the booth in the body shop the car got  a pretty thick layer of dust on it but the colours in the pictures are a little more true to life despite that:


In this next picture you can see the amount of dust on the car if you look at the finger marks on the  front passenger side of the hood and fender.  Still looks pretty sweet, though!

There was a fair bit on the driver's side lower window frame of the rear quarter window but other than that very little, I noticed one speck on the hood and maybe one or two elsewhere on the car.  I'm going to be painting that part of the rear quarter window frame blue so the dirt will be sanded out at that time.
