i wouldnt worry to much about the filler over paint .if its scuffed good and very clean it will last just fine...

keep up the good work

remember to seal up behind where you welded ...you wont regret it

not tryin to be a dick but if your hood was that far gone as well as the fender why wouldnt you just buy an aftermarket oem replacement for it so you know it will be straight? it just seems to me that would have saved a ton of time and left a smaller room for error when it comes to the bodywork. gl man

Thats what I thought but buying a hood would cost more as in Carbon fiber hoods and im at the point where im tired of looking for parts and having to worry about people sending me crappy parts. So fixing them to the best that we could was better IMO. So far with the first coat of primer, the body looks pretty darn good.
