looks real good, hoping to attend a body shop class next summer. Did you have to fill the moldings with anything else besides bondo?

no..no bondo..it cracks...i just used mahr glass...i know a few body shops that use it for shaving...too bad im leaving for bootcamp next week...hopefully my wife will have it painted and hopefully sold soon. i had plans of having this car as a drag car but my wife traded her CRV in for a SE ACCORD, so now i got now SUV to tow it...but oh well, ive had fun with the car so far, too bad im gonna part with it soon...

you can buy it at most auto repair shops...its a few steps up from BONDO..bondo was used alot back in the day..and most people still used it today..but its straight ghetto and it cracks easily..its usually used for minor things like filler...

if you use bondo correctly it should be fine..you can shave with bondo but should leave a layer of fiber glass sheets to top it off...mahr glass is great...never heard of it until i went to a reputable shop down in SD...they said that it dont crack like bondo..

i had my 93 accord shaved there and its been 4 years since, and no signs of cracking...

the sols color was from a NAVIGATOR...thats what my friend said...
