    Dan mentioned there is a filler called something like all metal or whatever that can be used to smooth stuff first. Being that it is a fenderless car and everything is going to hang out in the open, it seems the only way we can get a glass smooth finish is to spray and buff. Powdercoating would have been nice from the aspect of just dropping it off and picking up the finished product though.

    Thanks for the input so far guys, I appreciate it.

    Don
