Doors Coming Along Nicely!

In the last week or so I got the filler work on the front doors 99% finished. It took a bit longer than it should have because I mixed up what ws supposed to be the last batch of filler without enough hardener, and it hardened only to the consistency of old bubble gum. I had to scrape it off and sand away some of the previous coat of filler to get a clean surface.

I also did some messing with the body shims to get all four doors hanging perfectly evenly. It was good to see that everything lined up well, and there was no overlooked body damage or misalignment.

The next step is to go over all the filler work carefully, and fix up any imperfections. Then I can thoroughly clean and lightly sand the body, and it will be ready for another coat of epoxy primer and several coats if primer-surfacer. That will be an easier paint job than the ones I have done up to now, because I can do the entire car in one shoot.
