I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

I used bondo glass to fill any big metal areas that I needed to fill, then I mudded with stuff from API, and then used Icing from API, then then primed with cheap primer then guide coated that to see where I was with imperfections. Then I used the thick filler primer from API. Its 20 bucks per can and I used four cans so far. The bay is probably gonna be in paint this weekend I will update with pics.
