After cutting out all the rust their were plenty of dents and holes to fix also. As you have probably noticed, whoever did the bodywork previously, must have owned stock in some bondo company because they used plenty of it. So we got busy with the stud welder and pulled all the dents out as best we could to cut waaayyyyy back on the bondo use. :smile

I also have a 68 Mstang and it probably had the same amount of filler on it also. Many many places I Sanded down to the metal and there was no reason for it. Quarters had to go though.

As I do you will appreciate it being done correctly.
