Hadn't been back to your thread in awhile.

That just looks outstanding! I LOVE the interior seams filled and smoothed. I knew a guy that did his with filler and had no cracking even years later and more recently there was a magazine article about doing it with a more modern fiber reinforced filler. Did you consider doing that or (be honest) would it strike you as half-assing it?

Bam, what brand/type primer do you? I THINK you mentioned it before but in your old thread.
