Post by: timot_one on June 20, 2009, 12:57:46 AM I hope you take the time to fill in the gap at the bottom of the "dip" on the grille.
Title: Re: My summer project on Green Destiny!! Post by: thisaznboi88 on June 20, 2009, 01:47:07 AM yeah it was cracked. I had to bondo it waited like 2 days sand it down, then wet sanded it down, and more sanding. it hurts man all of this was done by hand. then I had to sand the rims and fix all the curbage and sand again... I need to find another project where I don't have to sand stuff.

Title: Re: My summer project on Green Destiny!! Post by: thisaznboi88 on June 20, 2009, 07:05:18 PM yes it does tim yes it does. And nothing can beat the feelings of knowing you did that buy yourself and that you put your sweat and blood into it. That my friend is a great feeling.
Title: Re: My summer project on Green Destiny!! Post by: timot_one on June 21, 2009, 09:37:25 AM So, are you going to fill in the gap with the grille? If it were me, I'd build up the edge of the grille with a bit of duraglass.
Title: Re: My summer project on Green Destiny!! Post by: thisaznboi88 on June 21, 2009, 05:59:33 PM I have a mesh grill that sitting on the side still. I still need to cut a little bit more to get it to fit better. There is like a 1/2in gap around the edge of the grill. I dont know what to do with that. I tired fiberglass to it but it doesn't stick to the grill even though i sanded it down to fiberglass.

You're going to want to make sure that when you sand the edge of the grille that you're trying to add material (i.e. duraglass/bondo) that it's not smooth. You want to use a coarse grit sand paper so there are deep scratches in the surface. That creates mechanical adhesion for the filler to grab on to. Title: Re: My summer project on Green Destiny!! Post by: thisaznboi88 on June 21, 2009, 10:47:16 PM ill keep that in mine. i have 60 grid paper. Its super rough takes off paint and material like nothing
