Update...
ok today i dident have much time to sand but i did get some important stuff done that i needed to. i removed The front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Side skirts and tail light... i hate the way ford makes it so hard to get them off....they put screw in the weirdest places.. there was i think 5 screws for the rear and some in the front...
Im thinking on getting my headlight, tail lights and rear middle light thing. Tinted at a tint shop since they are out.... what tint is good?
i post some pics when i get to my girls house.
Tomorrow i will Sand sand sand and god more sand =-(

YA!!
Almost done with the prep I have bondo the 2 small dents with (ragegold) Only things that are left is 1/2 the Front bumper 1 of the side skirts and the rear bumper Some of the rear trunk were the license plate. then once i get that done i will have to go over the car with 100 and prob 220 to get it nice and smooth and prob 400 on the rubber parts. so i have to go to base and sign the contract to use the Paint booth but in the contract i cant use my camera =-( i ask the guy y he said he dosent know it just in the contract. so i will have the Prep pics then the Paint pics =-(... wish me luck!

the only way to learn it is to do it, but you want to learn on the easier stuff, so i will probably agree with you on this.
