Good point there.
This is telling on myself and I should have known better. The old timers would tell you to leave the holes in a panel when you spread bondo over it so that the bondo went through the holes and would hold better, That is a lie from the get go. I got in a big hurry in the winter of 1980/81 and didn't take the time to weld up every bit of where I had made vertical cuts when I chopped the top and pretty well spread filler on with a trowel. Now 40 years later the rust is bleeding though because moisture got behind the filler.
They say you learn by your mistakes and I made a lot of mistakes back then.
