The next order of business after a getting metal work close enough for filler was to prep all the little areas that were an issue.
Someone drilled 12 holes in the body on each side for rubber door guard molding. I also decided to go the route of de-trimming the car to better match a COPO look for a stripped down sleeper. That meant welding in all the molding holes as well as fixing a bunch of little pin holes in the trunk gutter area as well as some minor pitting in both the front and rear window channels. Then it was finally time to apply some filler and start getting things straight.

Finally time for some DTM primer for all the bare spots and then I used some Polyester primer to help not only get things super straight after blocking but it helps seal in any old substrate.

The BOSS even helped out with the tedious sanding. My wife helped sand and did all the jambs, and under hood and trunk areas.. She earned a new found appreciation of the old adage.." (The harder it is to sand, the more important it is !) " She's a rock star !!
