Re: Did some "glassin" Today | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 2,825 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 2,825 | I have a belly pan like that, and several years ago, while driving thru a water puddle, it scooped up too much water and broke on both sides near the rear flares. glassed it back together a-ok. It would be nice if it was thicker, maybe a 1/4 inch or more, then it would be stronger...or avoid water puddles:) and mine was only bolted on, not glassed in like yours. yours is looking good, belly pans are so cool! Dat suck! This one is around 1/4" thick,and when ya mold it on it is alot stronger,when ya glass the middle 2 section together it makes it alot stronger too!! Need to slow down a little in dem fud puddles!! ;0) 79 B-200

BTW, bondo is the worst... you're much better off going to an auto body supply shop and buying some real filler. Everything about it is better, and it's usually only like $20-25 a gallon. | | | Re: Did some "glassin" Today | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 2,825 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 2,825 | looks great, nice work!

I know it's a brand name, but it's the worst brand out there, IMHO. If you use a professional grade filler, it's like night and day for ease of use. Good stuff feathers out much better than bondo. | | |
