Hey guys, I have a few technical questions on what processes to follow when restoring a classic. I'm definitely doing this as a hobby and my end product hopefully is a car that I will be proud to drive and maybe take to local car shows. This car was given to me by my uncle and has alot of family history. I'm working on a 66 Olds 442 and currently have the main body of car in epoxy. I had removed all the paint prior and replaced multiple panels that were beyond repair. My questions are, now that I am in the body filler stage, I have spots around the filler that I sanded thru the epoxy. What is the best way to protect those shiners while I wait for warmer weather.
Next question is, after filler is done what is the usual steps after that. When I bought the SPI epoxy, we went over briefly on the phone but it's been two months and I have forgot. Just need your expertise on what works best. Paint removal -> epoxy -> filler -> then...
Here are a few pics of my restoration.

Sorry for the newbie questions but this is my very first restoration and first time painting.
In advance thanks for the help!!!
