    yeah, but ill end up sanding it all off to fix the dents and rust eventually, then Im out $10 that could have been used for 2 cans of primer. :p

    By the way, new pics! I worked on the body today and Im not able to upload pics to the user gallery yet(Do we have a FAQ or something that tells you how to set up a user forum or anything?).

    Before
    [​IMG]
    Primed and Filled
    [​IMG]
    Sanded
    [​IMG]
    Reprimed
    [​IMG]

    Still have small dents and pits in the bondo, I bought filler bondo and I'll be going across the body with that to make it smooth, then resand it, the prime it again, and hope thats it...

    i think your post count needs to be so high before you can use the gallery. its still only like 15-20 posts i believe so you'll be there in no time

    and here it is!

    Its kind of intimidating browsing around and trying to find somewhere to post in a forum full of veteran posters.

    [EDIT]Is the ability to upload photo's once you reach 10 automatic? I know its 10, I saw that today, I was looking around on how to request a user forum so Ill have somewhere to post my progress and such.

    Welcome, keep up the good work, and just make sure that when you sand down the rust, you get it all and not bondo/prime over it as it will cause major problems later on
