Hehehe...

I could write the book on this subject. The smell of bondo and fiberglass makes me think of childhood watching my dad and my grandfather pasting the stuff over holes on the old 72 142S (when it was only 4 years old, LMAO).

So I've done it all. The best route is of course to use a welder. Success can also be acheived by purchasing sheet metal, cutting it to fit and riveting it to whatever is still good. Make sure you clear away the really bad stuff first and spray in some rubberized rockerguard. Then seal it all up with some industrial caulking, spray more rockerguard on.
