Fix Rust On Your Vehicle With Fiberglass!

[GorillaCookies]

That's definitely how not to deal with rusted out steel panels

[alexandredasilva]

I’d lay some chicken wire in the rust hole, bondo it, then the resin and fiber glass. Just adds rigidity and should make it last longer

[molinelligarage]

Good repair...but you should have sanded and roughed up the rust paint before applying fiberglass...it doesn't bond well to smooth surfaces

[cadillacslimm]

Good job hopefully you’re going to do a couple more layers because one layer is enough to poke through easily

[showtime]

It's a floor pan that will be covered up one layer will work fine

[GooseDave]

It would have been structurally stronger if you had torn the cloth and pulled it apart a bit and laid it in a few layers in opposite directions. Then finished off over the top with what you laid in the video.

I feel like if you're going this far. I'd end up finding a welding guy. Mainly because of the goal of building something new inside. How's this holding up?

[thomasfoster]

Where can I get the materials you used. Good idea i will do same

[robertkealoha]

Would it be good to lay some sheet metal and still use fiberglass?

[hhova]

Good job. Do you recommend this for the underside also?

[ezsgarage]

Should of cut that messed up area and cut a fresh piece of metal and welded it in

[wildside]

Don't you need to put the bondo glass over it to add more structure? Or more layers/more layers with bondo or is the bondo just to make it pretty for exterior purposes

[mesprojects]

#1 put on gloves. Otherwise nice job, as pointed out welding isn’t always available

[Loverest]

It will naturally pull out of place as your car shifts sideways and front to back. This is usually only done to single body cars.

[billyjarvis]

Ya that’s gonna pop off with some body flex

[jayh]

Dude! Fiberglass is for Corvettes! Cut that shit out and weld in some patch panels!

[stsk]

Multiple layers is what you need there sir

[aleemrahim]

Think I can fix rusty horse trailer like this ?

[ot-jjbk]

Boul touching fiberglass wit bare hands

[Scott-ohmd]

Looks like the frame is pushing through already. Metal would of been good down first.
