Getting ready to start on the metal work on the fenders but figured I would get a little practice on the cab behind the bed. Several large dents in various places and substantial oil canning. I removed the dents I could get to with hammer and dolly, used a stud welder on the ones behind structure, and removed the oil canning with my shrinking disc. I still have some lows maybe 1/16-1/32 deep. Is this good enough for filler and blocking or do I need to keep at it? Not at that point just wondering what the rule was on when to call it and move to next trouble area.
Thanks Tinman you were right, I checked after dinner and went back at it. More dolly work on the highs and shrinking disc treatment. It feels pretty good by hand, what do you think?
Much better. I would strip the area to bare metal and sand smooth. using a guide coat and a hard block with 220 grit will tell you how close you are. Ten minutes of bumping can save hours of sanding bondo....
