Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
pic 1. Bed and running boards on for final time.

Pic 2. Firewall metal work finished.

Pic 3. Starting bodywork.
I use Fibral by Upol it's a fiberglass filler, spreads like regular filler
And sands really easy. I have been using this as my first pass for strength as it cures super hard.

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Looking good. Will be interested to see what you think of the Fibral. Have you used USC All Metal or the Evercoat product line?

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
8Man...Yes I have used the all metal and it seems to go bad in the can fairly quick and have also used the evercoat.
The Fibral I have used for about a year and love it!

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Some more progress on the firewall
I usually start with the Fibral (glass filler) as it is really durable compared to standard filler.
Then I use my usual overcoat gold filler and after getting fairly close I spray the poly primer.
This type of primer is a High build primer (like slick sand)

Re: "Project Orangepeel" 52 A.D
Update:

Few shots of the bodywork being done.
It's moving along just fine, should be ready to shoot final primer soon.
