ehh, watching half these shows nowadays. theres no replacement, for a couple gallons of bondo.
i just got done doing a 67 chevelle for the customer.
the car looked really good before i started it. it was marina blue, with a fresh vinyl top.
no joke, after i stripped the roof. i swept up all the bondo and put it in a bag. there was 10 pds of bondo just on the roof
i didnt bother to weight the rest of the car. i dont have a scale that big.
and the car had to be jet black. oh boy, lossa fun.
glad its done though.
and i only use the hvhp gun for primer. i love the hvlp for paint and clear coats.
saves me a ton of paint. and since half the time i dont use a resporator, it doesnt put off as much overspray.
My first car restoration in school was my 67 Chevelle... It was aqua blue and had a black top.. the top was so pitted with rust.. Tons of bondo all over that car... I found one repair behind the right front wheel where the bodyman shoved a coke can in a rust hole and bondo... that car had crappy work all over it.. I brazed patch metal over tons of places...
