[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16486240, member: 70025"] Okay every one, although it was a 3 day weekend I could not work on the car on Monday as it was the wife's B-day. However, I did manage some progress on Sat and Sun. Got the engine panels body worked (mostly) and cleaned up the metal around the frame rails and upper control arm mounts. I used the green fiberglass filler to initially cover the welded area to make a stronger bond. [ATTACH=full]1661589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1661590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1661591[/ATTACH] After working the fiberglass filler I then added the body filler over that. [ATTACH=full]1661592[/ATTACH] I got the panels about 90% completed. I needed to work the panel metal around the upper control arm mounts. So, I left the bottom portion of the engine panel alone as I need to cut and weld in that area. [ATTACH=full]1661593[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1661594[/ATTACH] Here is the top of the apron where the old panel meets the new one. I needed to grind it as smooth as I could. Then I put fiberglass filler and then body worked it so it would look smooth, even and like one piece. [ATTACH=full]1661595[/ATTACH] Here is the filler applied after fiberglass filler. [ATTACH=full]1661596[/ATTACH] And here is where I ended on Sunday. Still need to finish up the frame rails and bottom of the engine panels. However, I think I'm going to weld in the MTF frame rail supports next weekend since I couldn't do it yesterday. [ATTACH=full]1661597[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
