did you go on holiday break?

No, I wish.
I own 1/2 of a pet furniture business with my girlfriend and while I usually work 3 days a week, I have been working 5 days/week for the last two weeks. While I tried to throw a layer of mud on each night, I started getting home later and later, finally I was simply too exhausted to even throw on a single layer a filler per night. I guess old age is catching up with me.
The good thing is I have 5 days off starting tomorrow night.
Here is a few pictures of what little work got done.
Trunk lid with dry guide coat applied.
Here is a partial of the filler sanded. I have a long way to go. My biggest problem is I don't seem to be able to apply filler smoothly to large areas. I use a 17" In-line sander then switch to a Dura Block for the final work.
Here are some real problems. A low spot on the left side that needs more filler. Two high spots and what appears to be a small long dent. The high spots I tapped down with a pick hammer before applying the next coat of filler.
I continued sanding the filler to prepare for the next coat of filler. You can see the area around the trunk lock is still low.
Another coating of filler and sanding. Better but not good enough.
Driver fender, almost finished here. Covered the weld seam where the lower fender patch was welded. Also covered the "All Metal" where the contour was off. Also I didn't bring the filler down far enough on the driver door. Sanding produced this sharp edge. I should have brought the filler down another couple of inches.
For comparison this is the before of the door to fender contour problem.
Door edge is almost finished. I brought the filler down a little farther.
The trunk lid passenger side did not line up with the quarter. The edge aligned at the trunk corner but the quarter dipped to about 1/8" below the trunk edge and became flush as approaching the back of the lid. I prepared the quarter for some "All Metal".
Three layers of "All Metal"
Close enough. Next step cover the entire top of the quarter with a layer of Rage Extreme.
