It looks pretty good to me, just you have alot of work ahead of you for paint. You might want to think of adding a brace to in between the subs on both sides.

it lookas good for not having messed with glass for that long.

what I would do if you are going to paint it is, put a good thick coat of duraglass on it. then sand and shape it as needed. then start with your filler. I recommend Rage Gold(by Evercoat) it sands WAY easier when it is fully cured.

then once you have it pretty close with the filler...hit it up with a good thick coat of feather fill. this will give you a good final coat right before primer.
