Red: Tank Priming

Gave the tank an overall gentle sanding with 600 and went at the bad rust spots with 80.  Decided to just prime and not even attempt any paint.

Unfortunately, once the primer was on, it was obvious how much the bondo still stood out.  Not sure if it just needs more thorough sanding, or if it will always stick out given it's such a large area and a gently curved surface.

There's another tank available on eBay for about $50 and I'm sorely tempted to grab it just as a backup if this Bondo thing doesn't pan out.
