I recently painted my mustang this summer, doing on body work, replacing bumpers and a front fender. Filler work is incredibly simple but it takes some experience getting it just right. I use Evercoat Z-grip filler and sand it with 80 grit until I am satisified. Then I apply as many coats of Evercoat 416 metal glaze (makes it smooth as a babys butt)as needed and sand it with 180 grit till its straight. Then I go over it gently with 400 or 500 grit to remove any possible sand scratches. Then 4 coats of Dupot 4004 plimer.... then I sand that with 500 grit.... Shouldnt be able to tell you did anything there after that.... Works for me at least!

As for the rear quarters, unless you are an experienced welder I would leave this to the pro's, or bribe your buddy thats a body man for a little afterhours work at the shop.

good luck be sure to show some pics when its painted!
