Im finally getting the hang of it!

Big thanks to Kris for spending time with me on this thing. I was getting frustrated quickly with it. Hell, I wanted to buzz all the bondo down with a DA and prime it.
Kris taught me to be patient with it and wrap a paint stick with some paper and work it
down slowly. It takes a lot of time and patience but thats the only way to get a really straight panel. I also have learned to look with your hands not your eyes. Plated taught me a lot about this too. Use your hands to feel the highs and lows...dont trust your eyes to see every thing.

I hope everyone remembers this is my first time at all this auto body crap and I am learning EVERYTHING as I go. I have a strong will to learn a new trade...more like form of art, and I want to do it right. Im lucky to have great resources in the form of good friends who are willing enough to teach me...and have the patience for it.
Hopefully when were finished with it, it will be something to stand back and be proud of.

Im sorry, I'll have more pics up soon. Im just reluctant to keep snapping them because it all looks the same. Bondo is bondo, right guys.

Id like to get a tripod and take some video of the many steps in this process. Im sure there are some people who follow this thread and think about trying it too. Maybe short video clips would show more detailed instructions. I know I learn better that way, tell me how to do something new and maybe I will get it right. Show me how to do it and I have a better idea how to do it. Something to think about. Let me know if your interested in seeing some video in this thread!
