I used to be involved in Thunderbird restorations. The convertibles were
notorious for having Swiss cheese pin holes or larger in the trunks and
floor pans. Many folks would use fiberglass over the areas saturated with
POR15 and then bondo sand and topcoat. POR15 sells a kit on there web site.
I think they also have instructions and pictures. These repairs were as hard
as steel when complete. For a fix in a non structural area not a bad option.
This repair adds strength and continuity to the metal. I prefer cutting and
welding, but have softened my opinion to match the repair with safety needs
and budget constraints. Eastwood sells a rivet and panel adhesive kit for
permanent sheet metal structural repairs if welding is inconvenient or
unavailable. Structurally sound and a good alternative.
