Poor Man's Body Repair Part 4

This is the 4th. and final part of "Poor Man's Body Repair".
There is much more to do on the van but that may or may not get on video.
All sheet metal work has been done to the right side of the van except the floor under the right rear quarter, that will not be on video.
The left side needs very little sheet metal work and as I said that may or may not be on video.
The bondo part MAY be on video, that will depend if my son Tommy wants to video tape it.
This video here shows the finished sheet metal part both outside and underside.
I show what has to be done underside and the repairs I made.
ENJOY!

Bill,

One more comment. Have you ever used fiberglass cloth and resin instead of bondo to go over newly added sheet metal? It's so much easier. Sands and paints well. Lasts a long time. Strong. Takes to all the contours of the new metal. Comes as a kit in a can. Extra sheets of fiberglass cloth can be purchased as needed. If you've never used it, search Youtube for this title:

Bondo: Working With Fiberglass Mat & Resin

i feel its your car, And you should do the work that best suits you, and they way you know how to do it! 1 it keeps you busy, 2 its fun to do, 3 you can only get better. Nice job, please post more videos, i would love to see the outcome of how the bondo sanding and all turned out. one last thing though, if you use fiberglass cloth, DONT LET IT HARDEN 100%! itll be a pain sanding!

@Trudy388 , Hi Trudy, Well I don't think there will be a part 5, but there will be another series of body repair videos after the other issues are taken care of.

Thanks for those kind words.

Bill
