MD Body Shops

[Deliverance]

Is there anyone who knows of a good body shop in MD that will not charge me a ton of money to fill some bolt holes after i switch my 2ga wing to a 2gb high wing ? or any easy fixes than going to a body shop ? thanks.

If you don't go crazy you can put a coin underneath the hole and fiberglass over the hole. use a spray primer, than head to Autozone and pick up a bottle of touch up car paint, and a clear coat bottle aswell. make sure to tape off the holes when you spray as to not get it on the paint or glass. After it is done you can say you are an expert in auto body repair(jk).

Have fun with it. Should only cost you around $20 to do it yourself.

Last I checked, fiberglass does not rust. My sailboat was built in 1961, and it sits in middle river all year long, not one scrap of rust...

haha i meant the quarter but it sounds like a fool proof plan.

Use the coin to prevent the soft fiberglass from dipping down into the hole; you can make the coin a permanant fixture on the inside to prevent dipping over time. This theory works really well for deleted antennas and other various small holes.

what should i use to keep the coins held in ?

you could always fiberglass it on... I am sure gorilla glue would work too.

heres what i did to fill my wiper hole in and no rust problems at all. Find a piece of sheetmetal i used an old gas door cut it to size and sand it down to bare metal then prime it (paint it with a any color if you like.) get a tube of jb wild and attach it to the inside of the hatch, then on the exterior sand down a small area around the hole fill the hole with bondo or any filler you want, let it set up and sand it down spray a coat of primer then a few coats of your color paint and some clear then your set
