Well.....

She has yet to ride, cuz it doesn't run yet! Well, it runs, kinda but it needs the wiring harness gone through. Some dormroom electrical engineer had his way with it at some point and hacked it to bits. This summer I'll rewire it and clean it up good and Daniela will learn how to ride it. If she likes it, we'll keep it. If not? Who knows!

Another product

Another product

I have used POR store Resto Grip and Straight Line body fillers. More expensive than bondo but a much better product.

fiberbond (fiberglass bondo, or bondo with fiber stands) works wonders... i'd say half my truck is held together by it!! :shock:

Sounds like the classic Brady Bunch exchange (when Greg buys his first car .. a beater):

Greg: "Is all the rust coming off?"

Bobby: "I hope not"

Greg: "Why?"

Bobby: "It's the only thing holding the car together!!"

:lol::lol::lol:

Use mar-glass

Use mar-glass

The best thing to use is mar-gass its a green hard setting fiber glass filler. I have been doing body work for many years and it is your best bet. Bondo should never be spread more the a 1/4 inch thick and the shrinkage can be a pain. With mar-glass you get little to no shrinkage. Another option is liquid steel whichs is a filler with lead in it. This also drys real hard with little to no shrinkage. Make sure to cover all bare metal with an etching primer once that sets wet sand and apply a coat of sealer primer wet sand and then paint and clear the color you want. If your on a real budget just rattle can it several medium coats wet sanding before final coat then 3 or 4 med-heavy coats of clear. wet sand smooth and bring the finish back with a good compound.
