true, but also less of a permanent solution. If you plan on keeping the car a while, sheet metal is the way to go. :thumb:

Please dont use body filler.
My car has been fixed before I had it. and repainted recently.. and well.. if you look at my new thread you will see how that turns out.
I found patch panels for $40 a piece..
gonna have my body guy cut out the old crap and weld in the new ones and then paint and call it a day.
So much better knowing that you wont have holes in your car because the body filler cracks or gets knocked out, etc.
