what i like about the body work end of their show is even if they wind up with a pile they generally carry it the job through. their metal work clean enough and they demonstrate what any one who wants to do their own car can do with the right amount of determination bondo or no bondo they aren't grind and fill piles. just get out there and get to it. these cars don't build them selves.

Dustin Babb Not sure if we’re referring to the same thing. I understand where in the process they are with the body work. However, they could’ve wrapped or cover the engine and other mechanical / electrical components to either not get any dust inside them or keep them clean and dust free. They’re not doing any body work in the engine bay itself.

We never put plastic on top of primer. If it is just primed metal (without already having plastic under the primer), we remove the primer completely down to bare metal, rough it up with 36 grit (or 80 works) paper on a d.a., clean it, then apply filler. Filler doesn't stick to primer just like it doesn't stick to paint. Well...it will stick long enough to get it out the door! Unless, you know...something's changed that I don't know about.

@troyeberling24324 жыл бұрын
Most modern body fillers and glazing putties will adhere to an epoxy primer which is an excellent base layer. When body filler cures it creates heat. That heat can cause condensation between the body filler and bare sheet metal that could potentially lead to failure or rust down the road. Acceptable loss for a daily driver for collision repair but not a $60,000 restomod that still has to look good 40 years from now.
