I don't mind doing it, but need to remind myself it is going to get driven. With the bed on I know I put in way to much time on the back of the cab below the belt line. Looking a the pics it looks like I use a lot of plastic but most of it is just a skim coat. I learned my skills from an old timer that ran the Ft. Hood hobby body shop in the early 70's. Luckily for me there usually wasn't anyone there so I got a lot on one on one instruction. I was doing my 60 VW panel (not a flat surface even though they look like a box) that had been hit on the rounded corners, sills and large slab sides. He would not even let me get out the plastic until I had mastered the hammer and dolly and worked the whole car. I would get it close to flat and think nothing else could be done, then he would take the tools and gently make it perfect. Learned a lot about patience. When it was done max thickness he would allow was 1/16", most was less then that. Yes, I could have rebelled and not worked as hard, but he wouldn't have taught me as much.
