Yes, round two. Obviously, 99% of that will be sanded into dust. It takes a special talent to be able to finesse the curves of those quarters and also keep the horizontal body line straight.

Depends on what you call 'filler'.......
You can put a fridge magnet anywhere on my Bee or Bird and it will stick, and no we didn't put steel wool in the filler! LOL
Both were fully skim coated before full blocking it into dust.

I have done that afterhours at car shows......it's scary how many high-dollar cars won't hold a simple fridge magnet.
And it's nothing to do with them using Adam's nano-tech car polish
Of course, for the people with real bondo filled holes, there's always magnetic paint that you can use to fool the fridge magnet.
Just love it when a thread goes off the rails...

We were picking on your bondo buggy and the mods whacked our pee pees!
In the mods defense,maybe the cement truck,and the guy spraying plaster were a little over the top!

All kidding aside,once the first coat of high build primer goes on,you are beyond the ugly phase! My step father used to say,paint covers up a lot of sin! Soon Earl Dubb will be laying down some color!

Just point and spray whatever they push in front of the gun!
Mark was smart to pre-fit the engine and transmission prior to bodywork and paint.
With stock engines, you know it will fit and clear but with custom stuff like the 6.4 392 Hemi he is using here, there are unknowns that are really a pisser to deal with on the fly. I didn't know about the clearance issues at the rear of the intake. The 3 speed wiper motor is the usual choice for clearance issues since the drive motor lays flat against the firewall as opposed to the 2 speed unit.
The Tremec transmissions are modified to fit our cars but this is for engines in the stock location. Some 3G Hemi motor mount kits move the engine forward for clearance but this wreaks havoc with the Tremec transmissions that were clearanced for the torsion bar crossmember.
The red arrow points to the notch to clear the crossmember.
Move the engine forward the 1 3/4" and that notch now doesn't help.

The Picasso of Plastic!! All joking aside if you want a straight car there is gonna be filler.... Mostly virtually transparent but filler just the same... It's how it's done.... Looking Great RC...Bondo Armando lives!
Most of the skim-coat of Bondo/synthetic filler
will be on his shop floor when he's done...
coming along nicely RC

It seems like now would be the time to modify the firewall near the wiper motor for clearance for that 6.4 intake manifold. Maybe you you did that already?
