Gerahead's 71 Dart

Seems like forever since I spent any real time out in the garage, except for short, scattered bursts. I got out for a couple of hours last night and was able to make some progress.
I was able to track down some #24 grit sandpaper that fit on my air sander. This turned out to be harder than I thought it would be. I ground down all of the spot welds around the periphery of the quarter panel to leave just a small ridge on them (photo 2). Then I went around the edge filling in the gap between them using the number of spots that it would take to fill the gap. I started off by filling in every 5th gap to keep the heat down and then kept progressively filling in the open gaps until I had them all filled in (photo 3). Now I need to go back and grind them all down and then finish them so I can cover it up until I get to the "final" body work. Looks like I'll be running out of nice weather soon :protest:. L8r
