I have requested access to view, but as others said embedding the images is so much nicer to look at.

Good luck with the project
 
Nice shifter! Does it get epoxied or other sealer to keep it from staining?

Body work looks like a decent start. What did you do on the backside of the visible repair?

Have you used filler before? I ask 'cos it looks a little uneven spread in the pics, like it was setting up to quick when applied. Either less hardener proportionate to the epoxy, or work at laying a quick smooth thin base before adding more..
