Disclaimer:=I'm not a body work professional, far from it, so everything we did we tried our best to model Jeff Kleiner's recommendations.
................For those of you who don't want to tackle this phase of your build, I recommend getting signed up to get Jeff to paint your car.
................For those of you who want to do your own bodywork, I hope these videos help.
I wiped down the body with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol several times before we started the sanding process.
This removed majority of the mold release wax that gets bonded to the body in the lay up process.
Once the bodywork was done I used a degreaser that I purchased from an auto paint store.
The car was painted at Dependable Paint & Body of Slidell by my pal Ernie Chassoniol.
We never got around to buffing the car, but it has held up well since being painted.
Shown below are my body work videos which may or may not help you:
