 Guide coated the fender, sanded the same, and found two low spots at the lower part of the fender behind the wheel.
  It took a very long time to do.  Seeing as I had back surgery,  my wife helped with all the heavy work, like jacking up the car so I could sit and sand for ten min. and then rest for 20 min.  Working on the car helps me stay sane.  You can only sit and watch TV before you start drooling and waiting for the mail to read the ad papers.
I used a Scott pad to prep the area for a glaze coat.  Going to get a heavier grit (120 or 80) for the center of the low spot.

 I am still out here.  It has been over 2 years since I wrote anything.  Well, a lot has gone down, mainly to me not the car.
   Lets talk about the car.  I painted the hood (bonnet) and the driver's door.  I installed gas hood holders. They were easy to install; get a set.  Put new tires on and had the brake drums and wheel hubs power coated.  The carbs started to act up and they are still not working right.
    Started on the driver's side bumper to bumper.  The hood needs to be aligned better than it is. Also the window in the door is loose.
   That is all for now.  Wish me luck.
