Id just take her down with 180 to the metal and then go over ur body work again and then do a shot or 2 of surfacer, block her then throw on some sealer. As long as you do not have more than 13-15mm of filler, primer, sealer, base/clear it will be perfectly fine _________________ brad14 wrote: If you dont use bond/fiberglass how else do you expect to fix rust? 152 hp and growing to 275.

It is only going to be on there untill I find another one that doesn't have so much holes in it. I did a bunch of welding on it so I'm just waiting to find another decklid. So I'm really not to worried about it but like I said, it should be just fine. _________________ If God be for us, who can be against Us? Romans 8:31

I think you meant 13 Mil, which is NOT a millimeter. There is NO way that you should have 15mm of material on the car... thats over a 1/2". The first stone you get hit by would break a chunk right of the car... if it didn't all fall off after the first pothole. _________________ Wasting oxygen since 1986.

I use the welding stud from my Stinger. It's more less a dent puller stud. Cut you out a template from the antannae hole and then get you a piece of metal. I used a chunk from a fender to a sunfire. Outline your template and then I used a plasma cutter. You can also use a cutoff tool but it takes to much time. Then I used my Stinger on the peice that I cut out and I had a stud welded to the center of the metal. Held the stud and centered the metal in the antannae hole and just tacked it. Then I finished welding it and then I used a cutoff tool and cut the stud off and then I grinded it down. Smoothed my welds with a grinder and then filled it up. I know it sounds confusing but it's actually really easy that way. If you want me to I can send you an actual step by step instruction deal tommorrow. _________________ If God be for us, who can be against Us? Romans 8:31
