Shaved Antena, Wiper and Wing
 

Ok SO i have nwo shaved off completly my Antena and Wiper. now the only thing bothering me is the material I used. Unfortunately after welding teh plate in place I filled it in with Body Filler. (BOndo) so it has a layer of bonod aproximately 3/16 thick, so now should I take it offa dn fill it with somethign else? I don;t want my paint craking in the future. so I want opinions and atons of Information.

whenever you shave something, the stupidest thing to do is fill it with bondo. No offense, it just is a poor replacement for metal when shaving something. This guy I know shaved the door handles and tailgate latch off of his truck, and filled the holes with bondo. It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen. After he had the car painted, you could see the ripples where the bondo was, and the paint began to chip. I would just cut some sheet metal, spot weld it over, and grind it down.

2nd. Don't use bondo, your paint will crack when exposed to the sun.

Bondo is only supposed to be used to fill in tiny blemishes in the metal (it's supposed to help make the surface completely smooth before primer and paint). Not supposed to be used as a filler.

I'd use fiberglass if I were you (available at Pep Boys).

metal is the only way to go. anything else will never completely bond, and eventually you will have problems, so bust out the welder again.

yeah I wleded btut he metal thign wapred witht he heat. (wasted hours of tapping into shape) so i din't think twice adn did the stupidest thing. (bondo) so yeah now i have to completly take off bondo and go buy soem fiberglass am I right?

Go ahead and add some more weld and then grind it smooth.

yeah, dont waste time with fiberglass. weld it right, and then grind and sand it smooth. do it right the first time, and you will be happy. do it the easy way, and down the road you will regret it.

im glad to see you live up to your sub-nam :D

i really wouldnt reccomend them...they are really flimsy and not too slick looking

they dont fit on very well either

that's an awesome front fascia!!!.............if you want your car to look like a catfish!

iagree but do it in short spurts welld for a second and stop and repet there will be less warping and less to grind down tn\hen use a tiny bit of bondo on it. it will turn out nice

IF you buy THAT I will rip all of it off and beat you to death with it.
