Final major area of work was the hood.
Nothing aggressive but from being opened and shut over the years I'm guessing it just got low spots on the front edge of the hood and then the rear hood braces on the underside created some weird transitions in the hood shape as the metal bent over them. I just softened those and it's good to go.
A few other small dings got fixed too.
Spent an entire day on hood ding repair getting it right. 3-4 light fills for each spot at least to work it up and get it right. Sanding in between each. It was so darn hot here and the glazing putty would go off so quick I had to work with small amounts and thin layers.
Spent a few days test fitting doors (different thread on that and thanks all for the feedback), swaping hinges around, testing again...wash rinse repeat. Still not totally happy but learning to say probably good enough. For now.
Moving forward will be one more round of block sanding then getting into the finer grits with a soft pad to prep for sealer before color and clear.
Before sealer will need to put on new seam sealer...been cleaning the old stuff out along the way from gaps around fenders, door jams, windows etc.
and then spray in lizard skin for interior sound deadening.
I probably have at least 60-70 hrs sanding already. I know some of you have more than that. Now I can really understand and appreciate why a good paint job is so expensive. My neighbor, the former body guy, keeps telling me "matt the nicer the body gets the more the tiny imperfections will stand out".
I did take a break from body work for one day a few weeks back to do a few color spray outs on the inner front fenders. Just for fun, to keep me motivated and get some ideas.
