at first i used a green fiberglass filler, but it was getting really hot during the hardening process and killing my hands, so i switched to a bondo body filler for the small stuff..

Iv always wanted to shave the side markers.. I never found a need for them to be there, and Id rather have a smooth side.. I would do the antenna too but I never know when Im gonna need it.. Oh well..

Looks great so far. Just curious as to why you left the "CAMARO" lettering on the grille. Thought maybe you would fill that in too to complete the "Smooth" look. Also did you put a backer plate or something behind the quarter panel when you were doing the side markers or just fiberglass over the hold and then smooth with filler?

When I filled in the holes on my shock towers, I fiberglassed them and then smoothed out with glazing putty. Lasted great so far and they get a lot of vibration.
