Sorry ladies the tails are staying.We hand sanded the whole car with 360 and 400 grit.As for the hood we primered it and filled in all the stone chips with spot putty.Then I wet sanded it twice by hand til it came out smooth.The body shop said it looked pretty good.My buddy block sanded and used a flat sander where i shaved the fenders and on the rear bumper where we filled the letters in.The whole car came out really smooth.I don't think we cost the shop too much work since they knocked a $1000 off of the price they quoted me two weeks ago.

I'm having the underside of the hood painted and the fender tops inside the engine bay too.The shop owner said $1700 ballpark.I asked for a pin stripe and an extra coat of clear also included in the price.Pretty sure it will be done tmw and I'm hoping to pick it up Friday after work.I will keep this updated.
