Demons and Dusters quarters have an area about the size of your hand just behind the doors (circled) that has a factory depression that may appear to be a dent (both sides of the car have them). Just so you don't drive yourself crazy filling & blocking it flat, it's SUPPOSED to be there. 5148038-Demondent.jpg (232 downloads)

If you run your hand from the depresion forward it smooths right into the door surface. Not to mention that it's unlikely that the mistake would have been made on both sides of the car. It used to be the last thing I noticed on a car, now it's the first thing I look for, if they aren't there you can be fairly certain that there's mud in the panel to fill it

That "dent" as it appears, makes them line up better, matching the lines more acceptably. 2 Demons...no, not my kids!

I just plain lost interest and got busy doing other things but hopefully now I will get back on it. Filler is complete (finally) and the car is ready for primer once I DA the the sheetmetal one more time. I've only primed one other car so this is still relatively new and fun for me (hopefully that will keep me motivated). Couple of pics of the completed filler work.

I bolted it to the hinges and the gaps line up great! It may not even take any work/filler prior to priming (ahhh, probably a little because I'm picky).

I just spent 8 1/2 hours out in the shop working on the car and it doesn't look any different . I spend the day DAing the bare metal and scotch briting all the nooks and crannys under the rockers, rear valence, cowl vents, etc. Also put seam sealer in the truck lip area. Plans are to go out in the morning and blow it off, mask it and prime it. Is should be ready to go.
