It's been a serious pain in the A double S but in the long run, it will be worth it...
Just thought I would share a few pictures. I must have removed 50 lbs of bondo... I think the PO had stock in the stuff..
Still not quite sure why it was used? The doors look straight... Anyone have any thoughts? Other then an accident, I can't think of any other reason.

I appreciate all the advice. Your right I am in over my head on the painting, I just want to protect it from any rust until I can get it painted. After reading what Scott had posted, I think I will just pony up the cash and get it to a painter. I don't want to jack it all up by trying to just protect it.
Again appreciate the advice...
That's why I posted the question....

Great! I hope you don't think we were being to harsh on you. I just want to see you succeed. I like the idea of hiring a bodyman to come over on the weekends to help with advise and knowledge. You'll save money over a retail job and lean something too. Good luck! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Rick,

No not at all. If I wasn't interested in honesty, I wouldn't have posted here. I want to get it done, but I want to doit right. Your right I don't know the best way to prep and paint it, not tomention the lack of room inmy garage, and not having the right tools.

Maybe one of the local guys will have some free time to come over and lend me a hand, or at least give me some good direction. It mightbe best to just send it to the painter and have it done. Get's to freekin expensive that way though.

Either way no worries... Appreciate the honesty, and food for thought. Proley saved me from spedning more then necessary and pissing me off in the process.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
