The guy doing my body work has only filled the holes with metal. I don't
want any bondo. I have already gotten rid of enough rust and bondo already.
The car (both bodies) were in very tough shape. Used 1 and a half sheets of
metal. He definitely did the job right. I just wish I could have fould a
better body to start with. I have no intentions of filling the gas cap hole
- only the bumper ones. Thanks again everyone! Larry.

Serious question here. What do you fill these holes with?
I've seen too many cars with bondo that cracks, separates, peels, and
eventually bubbles. I've been told that you cannot use bondo to fill a
hole, but rather need to cut out and section in metal pieces.
