3 Days of Body Work

Bob showing me how its done
I managed to spend half a day on Friday and all of Saturday and Sunday working on the car.  Friday I got all the plumbing finished for the intercooler water pump.  In typical fashion, the motor runs, but doesn't move any water.  I am assuming the impeller is hosed, I hope my supplier will warranty it!
We finished blocking the car and I used the magic dent machine to pull up all the low spots.  Some judicious hammering on the high spots got me ready for filler.
Today I wiped the Rage filler on all the low spots and broke it down with a DA and some 80 grit.  Hopefully Brett has some time this week to help me block it all out and see what we have.
Bob suprised me this morning and came by to do a bunch of metal work.  He welded up the emblem holes in the rear quarters, cut out and patched the passenger wheel well lip, patched the driver's quarter tip, and completely patched the trunk seam corners that were wasted.
I finished off the day by liberally filling those corners and grinding out the factory lead in the door/body seams.
