Re: new berger idea

i tried my best to follow with what i got here. i cant get ahole of 800 cause walmart was sold out and i had nowhere else to go. i did about 4 layers of bondo(to get all the holes filled), and dry sanded with 60 grit inbetween layers. after i was happy with the bondo i sand it with 220, then i wet sanded with 220. i guess ill have to look around to fine higher grit. im learning alot about body work and sanding from doing this and i recomend every try something like this cause ull learn alot.

Re: new berger idea

i couldnt get the bondo in the keyhole to stay so i said FUK IT.

The bondo needs something to stick too. It's nearly impossible to fill a hole with bondo without actually patching the hole with something first.

Since the berger is off the car and you are able to get at the back of it, just cut a piece of semi-rigid plastic into a circle a half inch or so larger than the keyhole. You can use something as simple as the cover of a margarine or coolwhip bowl for the plastic disc.

Rough up one side of the plastic disc with course sandpaper. Then use some urethane to glue the plastic disc over the back of the keyhole. Make sure the roughed up side is facing out (this is so the bondo will adhere better). Let it sit. Once it's set/cured, you can then fill the key hole with bondo and it will do exactly what you wanted.

Re: new berger idea

didnt read your whole thread, but saw you were having trouble with the keyhole. if you havn't painted try something at home depot called "quick plastik" (or similar to that. It should work very well for the key hole. i used it to actually rebuild part of my fuel rail covers when i trimmed them too far.

Re: new berger idea

Looks great! Just make sure everything is nice any smooth before you paint it all, to be sure the final product looks as good as it can.
