Looks good. Did you weld metal back into the holes or what did you do?

The driver's side had a huge dent in it(below), we pushed that out and filled in the low spots. The pass side was patched with metal, hopefully good welds too. Last time it was brazed, this time MIG welded.
Heres the dent before...it was worse than it looks...

There's a neat trick to pulling a dent out, tac weld a lot of nails onto the body and start pulling out from the outside in, when done grind off the nails. There's a special dent puller gun (which welds itself to the body and releases by twisting) but the nail trick works great too.

The dent puller is f**king awesome, i wish i'd have the money to buy one for myself. Gotta make do with what i've got at work. Anyway, if you use the nail trick or the dent puller you'd really want to solder the area afterwards (bot sides) before applying any surface coat.

That all looks good. I hope y'all sanded most of that red spot putty off though. Since it's not a catalizyed filler, it can cause nightmares with modern paints.
I just had my bed and one of my doors repainted because you could see the shadows of where they had used red spot putty...

The "Red Lead" still needs to be sanded off, and we did use it before and there were no shadows. Just got home from a swap meet, got some new wheels!!!!
