Levi, it is looking GOOD!!! pack some more bondo in the low spots and keep sanding!!! And if one of the cheeks looks to low, stick some more bondo on it to build it out till they are even.

GREAT work ner vod!

nope its attached. But on cheek got pulled out and pushed in a little bit during the first bondo. Coming back to haunt me now. Im thinking i just need to apply more bondo to make it level right?
