For once things went as planned. I got the car off of the rotisserie and supported on the lift. After removing the front supporting bracket I was able to work on the front end. What is shown in the picture was sanded and another coat of filler was added all the way across the seam. After sanding, it may be good enough to move on to the doors. If so, I'll have to put it back on the spit so I can move it to the other side of the shop.

Although I haven't posted recently, I have been working every day filling and sanding. You can probably tell that from the amount of dust on the floor. If all goes well I should be able to remove the car from the rotisserie and put it on the lift so I can work on the front end, again sanding and filling, filling and sanding. The fun part will be putting it back on the rotisserie to put another coat of epoxy primer on it, then sealer, filler primer to block it out, two coats of base and then three to four coats of clear. Some where in there I have to do the doors also.

And yet, more of the same. But it is progress.

Apparently I was somewhat optimistic on my recovery. On the Friday after my last post I had a relapse and it took over a week before I could walk upright. I'm back on the filling and sanding (hereafter called F & S for brevity) and slowly moving around the car. I've been touching up some spots on the rear and am just about ready to move to the passenger side. Oh Joy!

After falling down the attic steps while carrying a commercial sewing machine and taking a two day rest, I have been filling and sanding on the car. It looks the same, but......

While waiting for Corvair parts to arrive I had a chance to sand down the repair on my steering wheel. It is ready for the final scuffing and priming with epoxy primer. Be back soon.

Haven't figured out how to continue writing after adding more pictures so I started a new post. Just remember this goes with the previous pictures. I used my Dremel tool to widen the crack and after cleaning it out I filled it with JB Weld as shown below. Tomorrow when it is cured I will sand it smooth ready for priming.
