You are going to go to all that trouble (and making perfect curves and smooth joints and flowing lines is a black art) and likely as not first time out in a parking lot some SOB is going to open his door hard and leave you crying!
At the same time I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for you that the bondo doesn't have to go on really thick because that stuff crazes with age and temperature changes.

Yeah I think I might lay a layer of fiberglass and also to make the curves smooth I just want it to look clean

I have not figured out why ppl don't just go grab a junker and cut the rear panels out, space them from the stock panels and tapper the ends, glass, fill, prime, paint? why reinvent the wheel?

In fact don't even tapper the rear, just make it look vented...

Well for the front I am using a extra set of fenders I have to widen the front I may just cut the panels of the other car I have since its going to the grave yard soon

It makes sense to me, Judging by the look of your flux welds, the less you have to do, the less PITA it will be. I know how bad working with flux can be.
