1st attempt at body filler and block sanding. Still needs more sanding and filler but its a start.

Wow! Didn't see that many lows in the base picture! Looks like you're doing OK.

What filler are you using? When you need to cover a large area, I'd try U-pol flyweight. It sands easier than anything I've ever used. U-pol gold glaze is great too, and they can be mixed. If you're getting close enough to "straight", Evercoat superbuild or fiberfill sprayable filler/primer sand easily. With any luck you can sand it down until the first high area shows and quit. Then you're ready for the final primer ( epoxy, urethane, or evercoat slick sand). I've been using it on many of my large areas, like trunk lid and door sides.
