Body filler?

[Chris Wingardh]

What is the best body filler? And how much will I need? I will be building the truck....once it gets here. Son inlaw and I will be doing the body and paint.... he is a good painter but mostly Harleys, but we thought we give it a try. Opinions please. Thanks, Chris

Most folks tend to use Evercoat Rage Gold which is what we used on my car.
Evercoat Fibertech is good for hole filling and structural build-up around the doors and cowl.
If you have to do any glassing, you can use Polyester resin; however, Vinylester is preferred.

Jeff Kleiner shared a ton of his expert knowledge that my pals Sammy & Ernie put to good use for the bodywork and final spray out.

I only dealt with some door mods, panel gapping & some highly supervised sanding.

Rage Gold for all of the filling and shaping then a final skim with 3M Platinum Plus...spreads like butter and sands easy.
