I've been sulking and whining about the body line that runs down the length of the car. It is there and you can definitely see that it is an important part of the looks. Well on the driver's side fender the line was replaced by a dent at some point in her life. The dent was fixed but the line was gone. I've been reading a couple magazines in order to see how to get that line back. One guy it took him 48 hours to work one fender. This seemed a little extreme and perfection was the only way this guy worked. Well I want perfection too, but I want to be realistic with the car as well. So I studied the strategy and technique to get the line back, X sanding, criss cross... I applied the filler and marked out my line to the end of the fender. I then started working the technique. After 10 minutes I thought I would just quit... Needless to say I caught on after a bit and found what I needed to do to get her line back. The first inch took me 2 hours, but it is there. I had about 10inches to get total on this fender. You can see a bit of how the steps were done. It isn't quite done as of yet, but I'm making progress. It looks and FEELS great, to me anyway. A lot of sweat was manufactured for this line.
