Whats the best way to fill in the holes on the body where the trim used to be.
Im looking to get rid of the trim for a cleaner look.

Re: trim or not?

Weld them up and grind them down and then some filler over that to smoothe it out. Don't pound them in and use filler over it, it WILL crack back out and rust.

Re: trim or not?

You can go all out like I did and cut out small round pieces to weld in and fill the trim holes. I went this route to keep from just filling it up with alot of weld and building more heat. At least that was my plan anyway
