Looks great man!! What ever you do dont try to fill the voids with more lead. It will be worse. Just use filler primer and scratch fill for finishing.

Aw man, I f@#%~ed up! Tried to finish fill some tiny voids w more lead withouth reading your post first. Oh well. I melted it all away and started from scratch. Looks good again. I might use allmetal or plastic for the last bits. Not too worried though as I've noticed factory fill jobs were not perfect in appearance.

Thanks anyway Joe

This type of work is beyond my skillset, congrats.

Yeah,
I'm whining and crying over the condition of my bird, and then I see what you guys have done to resurrect your birds.
I'm not worthy!

Don't be ashamed of using Bondo. The Big 3 have been using the stuff on the assembly line since the day after it was invented!
