Well today i started to make the back radius corners . I used U bend pipe for the back bone for this job .
I cut out sections then fitted them in . I had to cut slots and spred them a bit more to con form to the shape of the van .
I was half tempted to cut out sections from a parts van and see if that would work , but i went with this idea for now ,

I have used Duraglass for my first coat of filler since the late 70's and feel that it provides superior quality. Sometime back Doc-cyber (maybe wrong) provided several threads on Vandomain where he suggested that using these glass impregnated fillers was a no no. While I have seen instances where rust did form under the filler they were rare and happened under extreme conditions. For me I still use this method and probably always will. Glad to see that others agree.

Thanks for the info Joe. I've used Duraglas in the past, but have also tried some other brands that I wasn't too happy with. I like that it has a cream hardener. I used one type that had a clear liquid hardener and it was a bitch to mix.

I've always used a glass filler first.

I like the idea of taping it off like you did to do temp fills. Keeps things neat. Nice idea!

Before this thread I didn't like chops at all. Thought of it as butchering a van, but that has changed. I see now how it's done and for some reason I now want one.
Looking good, very good!!!!

It is better to have Van'd once in your life, then to never had Van'd at all!
