Your opinions on the Bondo Buggy

[RabbitHoleSS]

To look correct, the entire Monte lower 1/4 should have been used. The wheel openings are different front to rear. Id say do the mechanics to the car while you learn on it to do the body work. Check the thread “ Rustier than I thought “ He said he didn’t know how to do body work when he started his build. He’s done an amazing job on his.

I appreciate the compliment Doug. Im just doing my best. I have an emotional attachment to my car like the OP. I think that helps with the PITA that is bodywork. I spent countless hours reading/watching the real body guys below before I touched the car.

I doubt I could do a better job than the shop that painted it in 2009, but I'll start doing some research and trying to learn about body work.

I used these build threads and more.
