Well i was trying to say is that fiberglass would be a better repair IMO and last longer than bondo over And the cost is about the same if not cheapear I buy gallons of resin for 9.99 at home depot and the cloth is about 3.99 a bag and one bag will go aways I did my front passenger fender and its still looking good

Seems anything i have ever seen fixed with bondo rusts back trough They more than likley didnt get all the rust killed though.

Good find Russell. No matter what combo you end up with it'll look good.

*1972C10* · 10-09-2004, 09:03 AM

Who is James? The person I sell the truck to will know that the body wasn't repaired using metal, my biggest concern is money, I can't afford a whole lot of nice body supplies, which is exactly why I will be selling the truck, so I can afford body supplies. I ain't around to rip someone off, I just want to stop the cancer and make it look somewhat good as compared to how it looks right now...

Fiberglassing is really that cheap? I've never actually bought any fiberglass before (I have worked with it on our boat when it got smashed though) so I didn't know. I'll have to make a trip to Home Depot and see if their prices are similar, if they are I'll fiberglass instead for sure!

Yeah, mine's got three really nice chevy ones.

So, what do you want for one, Russel?

Russell · 10-09-2004, 05:38 PM

Adam -- Best bet would be to trade something for the cap... I plan to use some new chevy alloy wheels with the truck, so I won't need the hubcaps. You've got first dibs on the best one for sure
