thanks for the tips you guys <3
uhhg it's been a long day of sanding and I don't really have a ton to show for it; I decided to do it part by part so I wouldn't get overwhelmed and gloop body filler everywhere but I still ended up using a TON of the stuff. Right now my primary focus is refining this darn edge..
oh and, like an idiot, I accidentally covered up the line where the faceplate meets the main body. :wacko it shouldn't be anything too difficult to fix though.
on a related note, I just got my hands on a detail sander maybe two hours ago or so and man does it make it a lot easier! Funnily enough, now that I've dyed my hair, I seem to have an accidental color theme going on with DeWalt today...
sorry for shoddy pics, ect. these were taken on the fly D:
