fiberglass/ bondo

[paulyb]

i give it a month before it cracks right in the spots on the top an bottem seems are.........

good concept, bad concept of how to do it..........

[JOEY GLADSTONE]

its gonna crack lol, should ask before you spend hours doing a mod

[jeenysrider07]

ya whatever its not gonna crack

[JOEY GLADSTONE]

u do know that fiberglass doesnt stick to plastic and thats gonna crack sooner or later with ur system beating on it

[jeenysrider07]

The foam I put under that panal piece stops almost all vibration to that piece , AND IF IT BREAKS I WILL RE DO IT THE RIGHT WAY

[AftermathAlero]

It might not crack today, or tomorrow.. maybe in a month, or two.. or within a year. It will come back and crack sooner or later.

You should listen to us. We have experience in this field.

Ill give you credit for trying! I know i wouldnt have tried this though.

[FrankTheTank]

it shoudl crack, but whether or not it will remains to be seen. a guy i knew in college shaved some shit on his saturn (including the trunk lock and letters) with bondo and fiberglass and it never cracked, even with subs in the trunk. at least it didnt crack for the 3 years he had it shaved before he got rid of it.
but with that said, i definitely wouldnt have done it that way.

I don't care if it cracks or not, but from what I see it looks good so if the shit last a day it looks good for a day. I will agree though if you are going to do something, mine as well do it right the first time, but you will know what to do the second time around. Bravo! I don't have the balls to try that on my own, and I can do alot of shit with my hands that I have never done before. From the first pics to the progress pics that looks good, now functionality will be the test.

just because you had rattle can sitting around doesnt mean oh why not put this rattle can crap on for the time beaing, well all your doing is 1. wasting material/time/
2. its not corrosion protected its not high build nor is it a catalyised product, i dont care what ya put around inside where have you its goin to crack its goin to come right back in a few months
i just dont like to see this shit when my self and other have allot of experience and i and other would have saved you allot of grief and told you the correct way to do this

[jeenysrider07]

thanks for the advice but im not going to take it off and redo it unless it does crack. you keep saying the same shit, i get it , Its not right but it will remain that way untill it cracks, then it will be redone. And the primer is a high build primer by the way, And if i would have left it un primed the rain and humidity would quickly start to rust the bare metal that was showing. This primer will be sanded completly off eventually

good god people, its not like your lives are destroyed because slappy over here decided to glass plastic to metal.. if it cracks, he's going to re-do it.. enough said - point taken - pie is all mighty.

if it -doesnt- crack (im no glass expert.. dont know if it will or not) I think slappy deserves an apology!

it looks great I think.. good work. If it cracks, bummer- lesson learned.

glass on boy.

100% agreed. more power to you for taking a chance. i just would never do that unless i already had a slight rust problem or had nothing to lose.

Well said. Its like people think he did this to everyones car, and the whole thing is ruined.

I too personally think it looks good (and i have seen it in person). Even though its not done right, doesn't mean it is an automatic failure. I am no body-work guru but too me, it seems very solid, and if it does crack, it will not be any time soon. Kodos to you for even trying such a project, and finishing it so quickly.

Oh, and it makes the car sound sooooo much better by not rattling.

Thats just my 2 pennies.

[Midgear]

I bet it lasts a while.. looks like quality work to me.

[super white alero1]

Hey I must admit so far it good good. We should be giving props for him trying something unique. God know I wanted to shave my truck, I just don't have the knowledge nor the drive to do something like this.
