So, after getting it home from Sand Blasting, I went to work tidying up the body, fixing some dents etc. I have come to the conclusion that no matter what I do, this Jeep is going to have some "character" left over. I tried to concentrate on the offensive larger repairs and left the odd ding and small dent that would have otherwise been covered over with body filler. My goal here was severely limit the use of any fills on the body and I ended up only having to smooth over where the "Cut" was. Aside from that, I used the Mig Welder and reversed a bunch of holes that were either left over from approved mods like Fender Mounted Mirrors (yuck) or other "Field Mods".
After this was all complete, I rolled it back in for another quick Sand Blast over the weld repair areas, and then it went in for Primer.
Now its starting to look much better. All of this banging away feels like it is paying off:
Tomorrow the Base Coat of paint goes on......
