Not much visually but man a bunch work. Had to remove paint from that angled surface on top of body this took some fiddling time. Didn't want to use chem stripper (was good for flat stuff but pain in the ass for little stuff). Was thinking the inside of the body (tub) was going to be a cake walk then got to inspecting and the original seam sealer was in pretty good shape but in places it was cracked. Upon further inspection there was hydrated iron(III) oxide which was standard on all AMC products.
So the bed area is cleaned and seam areas are ready for rust encapsulator then seam sealer, then primer, then lizard skin. I'm thinken I will paint the the inner body with the exterior paint color. Thoughts?

Looking good!
I don't have any direct input because my interior is still at your stage now. I had the whole tub sandblasted before doing repairs and painting on the exterior, I replaced all the seam sealer as well. The seam sealer is looking great still however I'm really dreading the prep work to remove the flash rust in the tube from exposure to humidity.
Did you land on a process that you would recommend to prep the tub interior for the eventual liner application?
