Ok well ive had the car for about 2 years and ive just got sick of all the door dings and dents over the years...Keep in mind i have to drive this daily which sucks ***..

Heres how the car looks from the last shoot...



And here is some of the supply's ive gathered from "work"..Which is 80 grit,320,220 and also have 1500,and 2000.Painters tape,bondo and the yellow things,and high build primer..



Started off by stripping the basic parts so i dont sand them..


Then i started block sanding the hood with 80 grit to get the feel for things.Which as you can see the dents i have..
**Note i spend the most time on the hood about 15 hours total so far,has to be straight.


This is about 15 hours of work.
**Note the shaved licence plate holes..
Where you see the primer is where i had to fix dents..




Here in this pic on the lower door i had a pretty big dent that had to be pushed out and filled...


Here is the shaved bumper and also welded the emblem holes and did alittle filling on the hood..


Shaved the rear emblem..


Here is the prosess of blocking the drivers side with 80 grit and filling any low spots that didnt sand out...at about 20+hours of work




alright here are the last few pics ive had a chance to take.
The whole car is blocked and filled with 80 and then blocked with 220grit getting ready for primer...




Ok well thats it for now hope to get the first few coats of high build primer on by fri sat.

if you have any questions PM me because i still have alot of questions...
