No, that's just the filler work. I'm just getting started on the skim coat before poly.

I'm hacking this one up in style.

It's one beat up pile.

I used various styles of clean and strip disc for most of it, with some help from a 50 grit disc on a high speed sander to quickly dig out the old mud work.

Next, a skim coat of glaze and some poly primer.



What the Heck you so Ashamed about? Its 1000% better than the 1.5 inches that was on it before!
I think you did a dang good job with what you had to work with.
You took a $2-$3K car and are making it worth $15-20K easy

Maybe so, but once I have slap on a third smear of filler in one area I start feeling guilty for some reason.

Sometimes you just gotta go the cave and pave route no matter what though.

Where you getting these big ones from and what are you paying for them they work good but are hard to find big ones at an affordable price.

Thats not a bad deal at all
I would like to find some bigger ones for the small electric grinder or a elcheapo variable speed grinder I think that would work well for stripping.

Sadly my friend that owns this Chevelle lost his battle with cancer. I'm still chugging along on it and will finish it the way he wanted it done. Hate he didn't get to see it finished.

I hope I get it into primer soon. Kind of starting to look like a clay model. Tough to pick a place to stop while making one of these old things a driver.
