Previously, we discussed the installation of the patch panel. Today, I completed the bodywork.
As pictured in the photo to the left, I fabricated a plywood template using the undamaged panel on the other side of the car. The template is wedged in place by three 1"x 1" wood strips and the filler is then applied using the template as a guide.
Fill and sand, fill and sand, fill and sand and fill and sand...until you get it right. I sprayed primer on the repaired areas to make sure the bodywork was satisfactory. Now the body exterior is prepared for the application of the polyester primer.
