  The important part is that this looks waaay better than the rusted hole.

  For the purest. They will always criticize. But for the guy on a budget. This is awesome. Everyone don&apos;t have welders or air compressed &nbsp;tools. I appreciate this video for what it is. Great job.

  People can hate this all they want, it&apos;s an old car and it&apos;s going to rust no matter how well you try to repair it. This is a really good example of how you can at least slow it down and some holes.

  There are cars out their with full fiberglass bodies yet people complain that this little patch of fiberglass is super dangerous?

  The floor in my ram was an old washing machine surround held down with sheet screws beat in place with a 10 lbd hammer and sprayed with bedliner drilled and forgotten about. There are thousands of ways out there to fix rust and I personally applaud him for what he did. Not everyone&apos;s rich my bronco is more aluminum flashing and bondo than factory steel but the motors strong and the frame is epic. No reason to put a good horse down because it has no fur.

  I wont even bother reading the negative posts, but in his defense, its not a Porsche and it did the job. Fiberglass has structural integrity and I have used this method on small repairs on a 4x4 that gets twisted and articulated off road and I haven&apos;t seen any sign of the repair coming apart. So hey, there may be a better way for those master techs and engineers with expensive tig welders or those who can afford to pay a fabricator 100/hour to make it bulletproof, but in the end this repair did its job and I&apos;m sure will last longer than the car. So kurtscottage don&apos;t sweat the negative people. The world will never have a shortage of them. What the world needs is more people like you who go for it and make a positive difference. I used polyester resin with fiberglass, but you gave me the idea of short strand with fiberglass and it looks a heck of a lot easier and quicker. Thank you

  Actually a very good video for someone who wants to extend the life of a rust affected vehicle without buying new fenders.
