before the next step.

Today I started fabricating a stand to put on the parts while sanding them on the inside.
I used some 1 1/4 " tube that we had laying around and put a few bents in it.
 Next I drilled some holes.
 And then bolted them together and welded a chain between them.
 Then I disassembled a few parts from the front of the car.
 And dismounted a few bezels and lights from the panel that sits below the rear bumper.
I also made a walk arround the car and found a few spots that need some attention.

Fine sanding Finished

Today I continued sanding the engine cover.
 After that I turned my attention to the panels below and above the front bumper.
They were dented and needed some attention.
So after a little sanding and some hammering the most of the dent was removed and the filler could be applied.

 Both parts are then sanded to remove the last low spots.

 Then the fine filler was applied and after some more sanding with 120 grid paper The parts are done.

So this means that the sanding of filler is done.
We can now start preparing the car for primer and spray filler.

Rough sanding finshed

The first I did today was finishing the hood.
And that was the end of the rough sanding and filling.
Until now I was sanding with 40 grid paper.
Next I applied the finishing filler, it is finer of structure and gives a smoother finish.
After all the filled in parts were filled with finishing primer I started sanding.
And at the end of the day the rear left quarter panel was sanded smooth with a 120 grid paper.
