so I took pictures earlier.... for whatever reason they didn't get on the memory card... so these are round 2. The first set had Buick in my Buick wagon snoozing.
I dunno, maybe either use it as a template or cut it down so it clears the air cleaner
it turned out a lot better then I expected
hard to see but the front flare is now nearly close enough
other side for comparison

so I may outsource the actual coloring of this car - which means I need to get the major done now....
it's good enough for white.... not black, yet
this gives a good perspective of the front fenders
much sanding later
time to cut a hole
no going back now
and voila

Lots of pictures, but the point is it's pretty much all sanding today
all of these are low spots
and chips
and fill
so twice this amount of liquid and you get peanut butter
you have no idea how tempted I am to paint this white
so while the filler is drying... onto the Buick

so I used the wrong squirt nozzle for the epoxy, so I got to remove what wasn't drying and replace it
oops
then tonight I got to use all-of-my-epoxy-knowledge and help another person.... I know what the blind leading the blind looks like.... his turned out better then mine - but I think he had more YouTube videos under his belt ;)
and for the record, he would have made the same mistake I did. West Systems comes with 3 dispense pumps. 2 are for the hardener, one is for resin.... but one of the hardener tops is the same size as the resin (they all come with varying lengths of pickup tubes).... tonight as I was mixing the new batch I noticed printing which illuminated my error. It's a really easy error to make so don't be me

I see no reason for the hate of white - maybe plain old refrigerator white, but there are some really neat white paint jobs out there that have pearl / silver metallic over the top that look really really cool. Given my lack of body work patience - if I re-color a car, it will likely end up in a permanent state of primer.There's always something new to learn.
