We stripped the paint, wire wheeled all the rust we could see, took out the weak stuff. Since this was a budget build, we went the easiest route. Fiberglass!

First, covered the holes with body mesh stuff, then went to town with fiberglass. Once that was done, I sanded it smooth. Then covered it with Bondo, and sanded and shaped it smooth. Covered it with some primer, then we painted the entire car.

I accidentally jacked it up at one of the spots, and it didn't even budge. Win!

(I am sure Brian or Joe will scold me know)

Scold you?? Nah, I'm going to douse you in gasoline and have you stand behind Dennis' car and have him shoot fireballs at you

The problem with fiberglass is over time it will seperate from the metal. It just won't bond properly. If you sandwiched the metal between two layers of 'glass, then it would hold more, but in the end, welding in new steel is definately the way to go. Budgets and time constraints often win out in the end though soooooooooo yeah.

It might be EASIER for you to type it, but the rest of us with a functioning educated brain, it causes us pain to read it. I fucking hate when people do that. Would you compose an email to your boss that way?
I've never had to use the ignore fuction before in my life regardless of the level of stupidity that I found on the evil forum, but you, I cannot stand your posts and in the effort of saving as many of my personal brain cells as possible, you're going on the ignore list. I feel a little stupider every time I read one of your posts.
