<VV> RE:body repair - no bondo

[Norgehyde at aol.com]

I did not think I had to give a massively huge explanation of what I meant by 
no Bondo. and the repair shop owner I am dealing with is very careful and 
takes pride in his work. I have seen a many examples of his craft from simply 
driving by his shop as I do on a daily basis and his work is very good. and yes, 
he does use bondo as a skim coat. I did not realize that someone would take 
umbrage from the simple statement that I do not want a "plastic" car. I want 
holes replaced with metal if there are any  and yes i have seen some of his metal 
work on other classic cars he is working on and he does work with lead (or 
possibly some amalgam) and he does skim coat when and where needed. some seem to 
also have misunderstood my question. i am only talking about body work, not 
"full restoration" at the moment. i also gratefully thank Ron Guy as he 
answered my question as it was asked and with extreme detail (which I will carry with 
me when I have the car looked at). I am not having this done to have a show 
car. I want it so that my car does not crack in half (the rockers definitely 
need to be replaced) and I can feel better in keeping one more corvair on the 
road for many years to come.

E.H.
