Thank you sir for the compliments

Okay, 2nd part of tutorial. I've been outside cleaning the pool with the lady and goofing off.
Okay, I added a 2nd coat to level the fender and finished sanding with 80 grit paper. I always finish my bondo in 80. I then added a coat of Metal Glaze to level all of the edges and fill in the 80 grit scratches. I will now finish sanding with 180 grit until smooth and prime. I also included a shot of how much hardener I use in my filler. Since it is so hot here in the Houston area I use a ribbon from the center out. Okay, back to work.

*72CSTC5* · 07-15-2007, 08:48 PM

Okay here is how it looks after bodywork and a little primer. On to more dents and address some rust in the front cup. I also welded several holes around the perimeter of the wheel opening. Looked like there was wheel opening moldings there or something.

No it is going to be a little bit. Nothing too soon, adding on to the shop first and remodeling the front and doing things to get it ready. Are you going to Texas Heatwave?
