After all the panels were aligned and all the dents pulled, our 1965 Chevelle moved into the body filler stage.  Our body technician John  started the process by grinding the steel panels to achieve a mechanical bond as well as a chemical bond, then began mixing and applying the Marson Mar-Glass fiberglass filler to the structural areas and seams, followed by a coat of Marson Platinum Plus filler over the rest of the car.    Although the filler was applied over large areas, John sanded most of it off in a process that refined the shape of the car, straightening minor waves and surface imperfections.   The filler was followed up by a new 3M glaze applied by a new 3M Dynamic Mixing System applicator gun.    The glaze fills remaining surface scratches and pinholes, and the gun applicator does all the mixing for you, ensuring quick, accurately mixed glaze (and filler) with no pinholes and reduced waste.   The entire car then went through a block sanding process.  The next step: Standox Sprayable Polyster.
