I'm at the same stage, and it is my least favorite job.  I could never be a bodyman, just don't have the patience for it.  I really can't wait till I finally get some primer on it.   :(  :(

I'm spreading bondo and sanding some every night. I've been paying my son to help sand, but he usually quits after about 30 minutes. With all the custom mods and welding I did on my car, there are LOTS of places to put bondo. I got everything pretty close, but some filler makes it perfect. I may try to spray a little primer this weekend.

The good news is, it's finally starting to look like a car!

BTW, I've been using Rage filler. Love the stuff. I got a gallon of Extreme for the final coat over everything, been using the the other Rage type so far.
