Even though I pulled out the dent quite a bit in the rear panel on the passenger side, the body putty fill was still quite a bit of work. The past few days I put on several layers of body putty. It was quite a bit but I’m also not the most efficient on body work. Here is a photo [...]
I now have most of the large body putty fills completed except one last dent in the rear panel underneath the bumper. I decided to try pulling the it out as much as possible first. Below shows the large dent. I decided to try using my stud welder from my work. They make these specifically for body work to weld [...]
Today I installed the rear window. It was removed to weld in the driver side quarter panel that went up along the window and to weld in a new panel in between the trunk lid and window. I started by cleaning up the surface with lacquer thinner and a rag. The window was was cleaned with soap and water, followed [...]
Another layer of body putty was added and sanded down with the long flexible sanding block. On the hood, I also realized I built up the bend too much and was sticking a little higher then the passenger fender so I have to sand that area quite a bit. The driver side fender body putty fill was sanded and started [...]
Today I continued sanding and reapplying body putty fills on the hood corner and large front driver side fender. These large fills should be finalized this week. Meanwhile, the small dent in the rear quarter panel sanded up smoothly so I finished it off with etch primer.
The patch that was on the hood was shaping up well but I still felt a subtle wave above the fill. So I sanded off a wider part of the hood and proceeded to fill it larger. I used a wider putty knife this time around to apply the body putty over it.
