not exactly understand your question. i think you mean to ask if i smoothed the inside of the body, like the enginecompartment and passengercompartment. the answere is yes. every rough or sharp edge i could reach with the tools are smoothed. it does not take that long to do and it prevents cutting your hands open a 100 times later on.

a shame to finish it this far and bleeding out when fitting the seats

edit:
where did my mind go when reading that question. reading a question was a bit too much to ask at that time of day i guess.

how did i smooth the internal corners:
I almost never did. welding it at a correct temp and wirespeed leaves a nice inward curved weld and the bodyfiller solves the rest. when it was absolutely necessary that it was smoothed, i took a grinder or a pengrinder, but mostly i covered it with a little bit of bodyfiller.
when you know you're going to cover something with filler later, leave the weld a little bit lower than the sheet. no need to bother with grinding it later.


sorry for the previous brainfart
