Well it's not perfect but it's 100% better then what it was before. Spent an hour or so grinding down all the welds and used a cup brush to smooth out the marks. 1 coat of bondo and 2 coats of icing. 3 coats of high build primer and wet sanded the last 1 and hit it up with some alumi blast. Not bad for 2 evenings in the basement and about $30. Forgot to mention how much I hate doing body work. Sanding is the dumbest thing ever but worth it in the end.
Don't mind the 1st pic it's from when I was boosting the car like a year ago.
Started out looking like this...


Ended up like this...

Much, much better.

It's attention to detail like this that wins car shows.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I've made the rest of the car look good so now it's on to the engine bay. Motor is getting pulled over winter and I'm ditching my abs to clear up some room and make it cleaner looking. The bay will get power washed and scrubbed down. Wax it all up and paint a few things before the new motor goes in.
