A few more notes.........
After the epoxy and the filler work we recoated the car in epoxy again covering up the filler areas and any places that went back to bare metal from sanding the filler.
80$ DA was Sears Craftsman. Biggest POS I have ever seen. It did not last 1 day before it gave me fits. I ended up having to rig it up to run all the time. We shut it off by unplugging the air. We had the disk that spins go bad once andhad to replace. Be prepared to replace one of these during the process. (10$) at this time I noticed the Cambell Hausfeld 40$ unit at the farm store is exactly the same as my Sears Craftsman for half the price!
After much work we discovered my rear 1/4 panel was moved in do to a wreck it was in at one time. We had to rig a pulling system and managed to have enough pulling strength to do this. If we had not got luckly I would have had to take it to a body shop to put it on the rack and have them pull it out.
I also had a friend who does body work help me out when I ran into snags. I actually had 2 other body guys via internet help me using pictures. One was in Alaska and there were many emails and phone calls to Alaska to discuss photo's in real time.
