After I had gotten all the welds ground down with a 7" disk sander, I used a little filler to smooth things out a bit. While I was doing this, a buddy stopped by and convinced me he could do the other sides filler work for me. I thought "sure, he's taken auto body. Probably knows more about this than me!" I'll show you.

I'm not a fan of filler in the first place, but if I HAVE to use it I will only use the minimum amount needed. Apparently, he thought differently. I know my truck will lean to the passenger side if I leave it like that. And then my wife will freak out thinking its from her. I have some sanding ahead.
