Bondo work!

Here's some early photos to give you an idea of the condition of the paint on the car.

It had been painted many years ago by Earl Sheib. They covered the original 'Corintian White' with a thick layer of bondo (to hide the dings and some of the rust!) then painted Coco Brown. I'm sure this was considered a 'high end" Earl Sheib job but over the years the bondo cracked and chipped. Rather than 're-invent' the wheel I am just doing a 'fix and paint to one color' job. I don't have the resources or funds to really get into a complete top end paint job so I'm experimenting. Anyway here's some photos of what I'm starting with.
