Bondo/fiberglass as the right choice
I see it bothers you if someone looks at this in a fair way . You have no idea how long a bondo job will last because I don't think you ever seen one that was treated and sealed . You simply don't know nor do I . I think my work will be fine basing it on fiberglass repairs I've seen and done in the past that didn't show much thought or treatment if any.
See, that’s the problem. You’ve assumed I haven’t seen exactly what you’re describing.
But I have. I’ve been working on cars for over 30 years. I’ve done bodywork on cars that’s been there that long. And I’ve seen other cars done with shoddy repairs like yours. They DO NOT LAST.
And know because I’ve seen it. All my buddies had cars in high school. I’ve seen all kinds of crappy, half assed repairs, mostly by dumb teenagers. And I know what happened to those cars, and how fast it happened.
Nothing you’re doing is new or different. The outcomes are well known to anyone that’s been doing this kind of work for decades. I’m sure you don’t have any idea how long your repairs will last, but that doesn’t mean no one else does.
Get over you Bondo Deraingment Syndrome and if you don't have anything to add to help people out that are going to use bondo why are you on this thread ?
I’m here so people understand how to properly use bondo. What you’re doing isn’t it.
Someone has to say that wire screen and bondo is not a substitute for metal panels, because it isn’t. And it’s not a proper use of bondo either!
I did make the proper repair for my car because it is a no-weld preservation .
That’s not a thing. “No weld preservation” is not a real thing anyone does. And if it was, it still wouldn’t be appropriate for a rust damaged car that needs new panels.
It's not about lack of money on my end. If you are ever in need stop by and I'll help you out.
Really? So then do it right. If money is not the problem, don’t hack up a car with flipper tricks and BS. If you can’t weld, pay someone that can.
