Thanks everybody. I'm glad to share the knowledge. Wbody cars have always interested me... A long journey that began 10+ years ago with my Monte... Ahh, the memories.

It's Bondo. Using it well would defeat the whole half-assery of it. I've used Bondo to fill 6 inch holes. It's always a crap job, cuz it's bondo. If your using bondo, you probably are already doing the job wrong. Reminds me off that time a hole opened up at Daytona during the 500...

Thanks for all your help John!

Unfortunately, the "right" way to do it involves cutting a quarter panel out and welding it in :/

Hi `John,
You just got to relax & take your time.
"Practice > makes Perfect"

Here's a tune to play when you work on your Monte Body

Good Luck

All Humans can `do just about anything they want
if they try & don't give `up > trying > 4-Sure.

Hi `Brent, our MOTY winner can drag this appreciation of John Thread to any family/auto subject you desires. What better way to honor John & his contributions & help to others, is to make a post & help him about `Bondo...Or see what John says & maybe start a Thread on Bondo & Body work..(I know I would like to read/learn about it & I'm sure many member's would also

Thanks for your suggestions & we all look forward to your super sharing & helping others on the MCF

Eh, I'm not overly concerned with it at the moment to be honest. Body work is needed on the car, eventually. I have heard dry ice can pop out dents... I'd love to try that. Doing work under the hood comes first. Make it pretty later. Ha!
