Dura Glass would have been a much better choice for the first 2 fill coats. It doesn't shrink and crack like Bondo does in thick applications. They do look good.

Looks GREAT!!!!!!

But is this not too average for you? I am missing a COWL back there. ;-)

I put them on hoping you wouldn't like them so we could back and forth about it again lol
Thanks for the compliment tho. Agree to disagree we both have our own styles and some different interests and that's what make all this unique

Looks good man. Way better with color matched smoothies. Very nice of your dad to do that for you. Now blend in the rear trim, be good to go.

Gotta agree with livingez tho. Bondo could cause you issues down the road.
