Clueless In Sandland
Guys, I'll be cutting into my body soon(ish) with a couple of mods/repairs.
1. I'll be cutting a hole in the hood which (hopefully) will be very neat and tidy and I'll only want to reseal the glass on the edges around the hole. What would be best for this? Just some glass resin?
2. I'll be cutting into my rear fenders and replacing the modded rear marker lights with inserts from some original panels. I would imagine that once I've cut the hole to suit, I need to clean up the areas around the join on the remaining panel and the insert then lay some glass mat over the join. Should I also rough up the original glass? Will that help the new mat to bond to the original panels?
3. I'll be cutting into my front fenders and replacing the 82 louvres with egg crates, so the glass work will be much the same as #2
Oh, I read Lars' paper on body work and I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be able to get the products he talks about by brand name.
Thanks...
