It's not ok to "glue" metal parts together with bondo

So I'm repairing the door reveal on a 36 five window and someone decided to repair the p*** side floor with bondo. Who ever did this used the bondo like glue to hold some floor panels down. Ice been chiseling it out all morning just so I can bolt down this side of the cowl. Oh did I not mention that how the cowl was being held down to the ch***is.
It just not right.

 

Apparently it's good glue...you been chiseling all morning, right?

 

I'd rather deal with propane and a s****er for bondo......instead of the old way of having tons of brazed warped pieces, with no hope of getting the br*** cleaned off for proper welding.


count your blessings crybaby

 

everybody knows the proper way to glue your floors down is with that bondo gl*** ****.

when I find someting messed up with bondo I burn it out with a propane torch.

 

Hah,Ok so it wasn't all morning but it seemed like it.

 

ahhh ****, now you tell me... Im gonna have to redo everything!!

 

Damn good stuff. Many uses, some I've apparently never even thought of.

 

elmers my fave ....

 

liquid nails

 

oh....

(j/k)

 

Yeah, yeah I know.... pop rivets THEN Bondo.

 

Genious!

 

I was on a creeper under a 64 nova that i am working on for a local guy went to pull myself out from under the car the rear quarter patch popped off in my hand the bondo holding it on gave way.

 

Ah man you RUINED it!

 

If you put chicken wire in the bondo then it's a custom....oops wrong spelling Kustom

 

I wish there were pictures ................ scrubba

 

No I'm pretty sure the chicken wire method is legit. I'm not sure about the starter kit, but the deluxe package I bought came with some kinda chicken wire. So yeah, it's okay to go that route.

Ha ha ha...

 

Are you sure it was bondo...and not some of that new glue that manufacturers are using these days...???

"chiseling all morning" sounds to me like it is tougher than plain old bondo.

R-

 

that ****s seems we have a 39 zepher here mostly held tothere with more bondo than tack welds
least yer saving this one lucky for this 36 luckys workin on it!!!!!!!

 

It certainly huffs as good as glue... I mean, it "holds" as good as glue.

 

Yeah, thats what pop rivets were invented for...

 

somewhere in Virginia there is a '62 Falcon Futura 2dr with a front floor made of license plates and flex-thane two part urethane rubber... yup; i did that. not proud of it, but it's what i had to work with at the time. oddly; i bet the rest of the car has rusted away and the floor is still in one piece.... i used to test all kinds of weird stuff i was given while working at Bab**** and Wilcox.

 

Yep; If liquid nails and drywall screws had been available in the mid-late 1930s, Chivvy would still be contracting FISHER BODY WORKS to build wood framed car bodies for them.

 

If it has chicken wire, maybe its stucco????

 

Why not ,,,,,

 

I like to use JB Weld it holds better, and you can drill and tap it for hanging stuff on.

 

And I've been using duct tape and roof tar all these years....DAMN YOU RED GREEN!!!

 

Thinset is way to go...

 

does this mean you bondo 'd some nuke plants together???

 

Remember that these 70+ year old cars we're working on were once $50 cars that were patched up just good enough to sell at the auction or at some Buy Here-Pay Here, No Credit-No Problem car lot.
