Body filler is tricky.
Put it on wider than you think it needs. Don't try to get it"flat" at first. Stop with the 80 grit when it looks close. Shoot it with some rattle can primer then switch to finer grade paper. The grey primer will help you see where it's low. Don't be lazy.. Put down the D.A. and grab the soft block.
The hardest part of filler isn't putting it on... It's NOT taking too much off..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Cool.
I love new tool boxes.
Last one I bought was way bigger than what I previously had, but it turned out to be defective: it didn't hold all my tools!
I'm pretty sure I DO need three of everything....

Finished up all the new brake and clutch lines and bled both systems. Used insulation around the lines that are near the headers.

Ben, I saw a 69 Bug for sale locally and had bad thoughts thinking of your build here. Have you had any time to spend on it? i'm guessing not since you're making great head way on the mini car.Ryan

I have been doing re-assembly on the pre-fitted parts. Also been cutting out the rusted metal in the c pillar area. Soon as I get the new metal and the wheel tubs in, I can re-install the gas tank and start it up! Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe

"It only took most of the day and 3/4 of a gallon of body filler....most of which wound up on the floor after hours of sanding"
That's the way its done here also lol.Seth
