Re: JB Weld and body work? (tuck'd98)
It's not ghetto, it's cheap. 
I don't feel like paying some $$$ to weld 8 holes shut. It's a daily driver not a show car.
I figured that it would last longer than bondo. I've heard that it could be done just seeing if someone has done this with lasting results.

Re: (Syndacate)
The holes are in several parts (2 front fenders, 2 rear quarter panels and in the trunk). The rear quarter panel could be welded which will be actually easier than getting access from behind. The others I have access to either side and thought that it might be easier to just JB Weld on both sides and then sand down.
My main concern is the hole coming up like bondo would over time. If it will, I might as just weld them all.

nitrous and a gift from the moron that installed my side skirts several years ago. He wanted to make extra sure that it won't fly off when I used the nitrous.

Re: (virus.EK)
im lost but i would just have them spot welded.
you could do it yourself or have a body shop just weld it or some one that knows how and you can do the rest like sanding and prep work
do it right the first time

Re: (tuck'd98)
The directions I saw online did not mention anything about spot welding.
The process was to cut a steel piece the size of the hole and weld it around. It looked too time consuming for such a small hole to fix.

I actually had it painted and installed at his so called "body shop." This is the reason why I started doing my own work including changing pressure plate, installing sway bars, camber kits ... everything
I guess I am going to have to get better at welding. BTW I stopped going to full serve after too.

Yeah that was my advice
and it's really simple if you're efficient at it...but I guess that varies from person to person, how long you can cut the piece, how fast you can weld it, etc.

Hey did you know that in Oregan you cant pump your own gas. When i was passing through i stopped at a gas station and someone jumped out and was like "you need your gas pumped?" I was like wtf?!? Super weird feeling.
Just JB weld them smooth, just dont expect to use them again. So JB weld, then paint.

we do this all the time at my shop to shave things like trunks after we take off the spolier or even if we take off an emblem that is held on with a hole... it the hole is only screw sized you dont need to cut a piece of metal out to weld into place. all you need to do is get a punch that is slightly bigger then the hole tap it a lil bit to make a divet that you can fill with a weld. then just take your time and fill the hole by spot welding it.
Re: JB Weld and body work? (virus.EK)
There's a body filler called "All-Metal." Probably not much difference. Maybe use that. It is available in small quantities.
It's not that hard to access the rear qtr's from inside I don't think. Use some aluminum or fiberglass window screen to back it up from behind and lay a layer over that back there.

Re: JB Weld and body work? (B and B)
fiberglass
clean the inside surface, dip the fiber cloth into the rasin (hardner mixed), apply to the inside metal. It will harden and give u a pretty strong hold. Then bondo the outside and sand it down, then wet sand for the smooth finish.
i've done it to the rust holes and it still is holding, no changes since the first day, and no rust back through the winter
