Featherfill G2 is even better for you. Google both of these names. Autobodystore.com will show it, so will Eastwood. Just mudwork and epoxy IS NOT ENOUGH. You'll have a bunch of work and dough and it'll look like crap. You and the kid need to get some long blocks and G2 and hunker down and prime and block that sucker. A lot. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY THIS. It's dirt easy, but this is the long hard work that separates the men from the boys.

I'm with you man! In a past life I was a cabinet builder. When you start you SAND. The boss is never happy with it neitha! I got the hang of it though and before you knew it I was working on the cool stuff!

If you can see it, then you will see it in the paint as well. It does take time, but you will be very happy with the end result !
I really appreciate the advice and encouragement! Now about blocks.... For sure I'll get a long board, but what else should I get?? I've seen dudes use a chunk of air hose for inside radiuses and such. What about spots like the A pillar? It's pretty damn smooth with no metal work or filler. Dash? Headliner? Should I be "blocking" those surfaces too? What about firewall? Its epoxied. Should I just leave it until I'm ready for base coat then scuff it or should I scuff it and prime it again?

Thanks Chevy dudes!!!!
