OMG! as much as you don't like my comments of constructive criticism,I have to put in my .02c, please take the extra time to remove old crust off the pinchwelds around the windows and clean all the rust,loose dirt and old paint, STOP using that garbage red putty, or atleast use it wha is was made for,not use it a skim coat, it was made for small pin holes and I would never use it on anything else,not to fill scratches or do bodywork with it, don't take it as an insult, I just hate to know that this car will rust in no time, when you can take extra time to do it right

your right, I dont appreciate your "comments" especially considering that you were not there to see every step of the process. I know what Iam doing works and I know there are other techniques other than my own. I understand what works and what doesnt by this point and just because you dont do it that way doesnt mean you need to criticize my work. For your info there was no old paint or loose dirt that you seem to think is there. The car was thoroughly cleaned and like i said before you were not there every step and the pictures i posted are just snapshots of the process, not every step of the way. Also I dont know where you think I used the puddy as a skim coat, but as you can see it was in places to fill pin holes.
