You do of course realize that you can buy that cab corner for like 12 buck, right? Eff cutting out junk yard pieces, it doesnt make sense when replacements are cheap and easily found...

Bondo isnt meant to fill in rust holes, its meant to fill in small door dings and such, it'll just crack/fall out of holes... Weld metal filler pieces in the holes you are filling, grind down the welds, and then use filler to clean up any TINY imperfections.

Also there are a couple different types of primer, make sure you are using the right kind...

hey, dont worry, everything will be done properly when i get the pieces.. we only did this out of boredom.. we used a back filler on that rust hole, it sticks to the inside of the truck.. once i get the pieces, we will re-do it and weld it..etc.. dont worry guys, lol.. :thumbsup
