          Murray had a dent in the rear passenger side roof big enough to set a 
football in. They just filled it with about a quart of Bondo, about 3".thick.

It's easy:  You just take a rust hole in a rocker and start sticking in bondo 
till it's filled.  A rocker at the top is probably about 5" thick.  Also had 
some other rust issues that were backed with tinfoil and then poured in bondo 
till it wouldn't go in any more.  I probably took the equivalent of at least 2 
full gallon cans of bondo off that thing.

panel had gotten smashed flat. But on a bus?

The bondo was 5" thick in some spots on the bakery truck when I started.

after pulling all the bondo off the left rear 
quarter. there was a slight dent that could of been brought out alot more 
than it was and they just mudded over it we're talking 1/2" thick in some 
places. then for some reason there was a good quarter inch thick spot of 
bondo right where the belt line is. i guess that was the answer to the 
pitted rust. not treated just bondoed over so of course the rust festered. 
the good thing is there are no rust holes just pited so i will get some rust 
converter after blasting the holy hell out of it i will coat that sommabish 
with rust converter.

this was all just on the left side i can see all the bondo on ther right so 
i can now understand why the bus has always leaned alittle to the left. top 
that off with the 1/8" of paint layers. Hershey will look like a freaking 
monster truck when i get him stripped down.

here is the status on rust:

front lower outer skin
front lower inner panel
front left lower fender inner and outer
front right lower fender outer
left and right rockers
left front rear fender area
left rear corner needs a 6" x 4" patch
battery trays on left and right.

it's not near as bad as i thought. but the bondo fair did bless the crap out 
of the bus.
