I'm far from an expert body man, but I know that some of the more
high-dollar cars are restored this way. I was taught how to do body work
from my friends father who completely restores about 3 cars / year. They
are usually high-dollar types of cars. Anyway, he usually does a skim
coat of bondo... his cars come out very very nice.
hope this helps.
