Are you tigging those patches in?

There are soo many different brands and part numbers of primers, I get overwhelmed trying to figure it all out. I've never used the NCP275 before, just the DP for bare metal primer & sealer. I read a lot about SPI epoxy primer & clear, but they don't have a rep in the area. If I felt more confident about what I was doing, I might order some and try it. But I just went with what the local paint guy recomended. He didn't try to sell me the top of the line on everything, and he sounded like he knew what he was talking about, so I'm trusting his judgment this time. I'll have to check the Northstar brand, maybe there is a rep here in town.

All the panels are TIG welded. I just love how nice & slow I can go with it. I always feel like I'm in a race with the MIG... squeeze & go as fast as I can so it doesn't burn a hole. With the TIG I can melt a drop of filler rod, then heat it up a bit, and flow it into a nice spot weld. So much easier.

Got everything bondo'd...
