it's simply amazing when you start sanding and suddenly go "what the hell were they thinking" isn't it? i was saying alot of that yesterday. can't wait to get home and say it again.

The bondo was 5" thick in some spots on the bakery truck when I started.Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: i swear my bus raised up 1" after pulling all the bondo off the left rearquarter. 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 rustconverter 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 outof the bus. _________________________________________________________________ Watch free concerts with Pink, Rod Stewart, Oasis and more.
