Here I put a few coats of body putty over the driver side lower panel under the door. Then finally finished up the rear quarter panels by sanding with finer grit sandpaper and priming

About 15 years ago we roughly filled a weird rust spot on the front corner of the hood. It wasn’t perfect because it was meant to be temporary and I wanted to be sure the rust was cleaned up well. I grinded out the old body putty fill, sanded any rust and painted the lower portion of sheet metal with [...]

There was an unusual raised spot on the front fender which I pounded back in and filled. I also continued to work the rear quarter panel and other dings will more fill and sanding fun.

3 more dings were found on the driver side door and filled. There was a decent dent on the front of the fender that needed a fill. Then the metal was a little warped in the rear quarter panel near the door which I suppose was caused from the heat of welding it in place.

These fills were quite a pain to do. Here is the update. It was still a little challenging working out some waves even with the long sanding block but I am slowly getting it to a smooth surface. I started to spray guide coat primer over this area, then sanding to better see the low spots visually. Here I started [...]
