I've dug my left rear fender out of storage in preperation for the big
Weld-A-Thon at my place.
Is it common bodyshop practice to use 1/8" (or more!) bondo? Over the
whole panel? That's what it feels like... Not many places I can find
where I've got metal on both sides :-(
OTOH when I finally bore through all the plastic, there's good sheet metal
beneath.
other things: Is there a flange on the rear of the fender, such that the
fender will sit beneath the chrome of the tail-lamp housing? Or no? This
is one of the places where Michealangelo the Body Man sculpted the car.
As it's rusty on the back, I intend to replace w/ sheetmetal and I'm
wondering if Mike goofed up (actually, I KNOW he goofed up, but I don't
know where...)
Thanks in advance...
