I'll never have a car dipped again!
Are you keeping any type of hour log? Alot of people might be interested in how long this actually takes.
I agree with you Tony about the dipping, never ever again will I do it, and I agree with the epoxy, we don't have to do it like down there in the states. And of course I am keeping a hour log on the build silly! lol. Just like you do, top drawer of my tool box.

Thanks and I will, just got a terrible cold this week, off from work. body is killing me.

Not a bad idea!!! it truly was a great B-day present.

On the spraying primer then applying mud, have you ever had some areas where you couldn't get the bondo to stick to the primer? I had this happen when I stated the cab work on my Longhorn. I'm just going to blame the cheap garbage primer I got from the clown off CL. He claimed it was dupont epoxy, but I'm thinking it was wally world or some other garbage.
I have not come across that situation. could be the primer you were using thou.
