The body filler looks like it smooths everything out just fine without grinding everything down. What filler did you use, cuz I have heard bondo doesn't flex very well and is prone to cracking. Any info you could pass along would help me a great deal. Thank you so much!
Nice Job by the way, looking forward to the final pics.
I actually did grind down the welds but perhaps didn't take any pictures of that. Some areas
are of course more difficult than others to fit a grinder but I recommend doing the best you can.

I tried my best to do as much grinding/metal working as possible to use the least amount of filler
I could get away with.

I used Evercoat Rage Extreme as my filler (a bit on the expensive side but worth it I think)
