Maybe a bit of body work would work ? Just wish I did it right to start with but I'm at burnout.

That's why hot rods always wore primer. Because as we all know, they aren't ever really done! If you are burnt from working on it, just get it into primer/sealer and then register it / drive it for a while. Then you'll probably have a greater level of enthusiasm and want to go back into it over the winter. At least that was my excuse! LOL... not really, but I do need to "re-do" some work on mine. And 1 more thing, after driving it in the real world... you will more than likely want to change some things, even just some little tweaks.. so finishing it NOW, may not always be the right road to take.

That's a great piece of advice, should have done it last year !

I started body working the welds on the hood underside, grinded down the weld as much as I felt safe with and using filler to smooth out as much as it can be, still going to be wavy but that will look better than the welds. pics to follow.
Happy Daylight savings time !
