Dear Hive Mind -
I'm trying to formulate a plan for fixing my hood, it's a factory 1980 Cutlass hood with an aftermarket ABS cowl scoop, the body work is about 20 years old and the filler is falling apart around the scoop. I will be grinding out the old filler, removing the scoop, cleaning up the area where the scoop meets the hood and using a 3M bonding agent and counter sunk screws to re-attach it. I have used Bondo before, but I'm looking at other options for filler to use for this job. I want it to look how it did 10 years ago where there was no seam.
I am hearing good stuff about Evercoat Kitty Hair, so far that's the favorite. Anyone have experience with this product or others that would be recommended for this? How much different is their product called Tiger Hair?
Any other products you would recommend besides those I'm already looking at?
Any tips or tricks I should know about using these products that would be different from Bondo?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
