yea sorry about that, I just hate ignorant ***** who are just closed minded about everything. I am by no means into huge spoilers and giant tachs and stuff like that but no one needs to go around being a dink about others cars. Expressing yourself is one thing but being a deuch bag about it is another.

Think he said "Yes I know you used fiberglass from the information in your last post. It is not my style because fiberglass is prone to damage, does not cover as well as metal, and when damaged is harder to repair. In My Opinion"

its easy to fiber glass it. I removed the molding grinded the metal on both sides (inside the doorpanel was hard very hard) I used fiberglass cloth to cover up the holes where the side molding would snap into. Then I used fiberglass hair/kitty hair. to fill in the molding to just about level with the rest of the car. Then used bondo to level it all out. Don't use too much bondo. The fiberglass gives and is still tough if done right. Bondo will crack badly when used in large quantities.

There are 3 coats of mack truck silver and 3 coats of clear. The thing is that I still have to wetsand and buff the car. Imagine the shine then.
