Mudrunner Fiberglass Body........needs A Little Repair Work


Recommended Posts

First im working on the driver side....

here is the driver side rear body brace that i made...

Posted Image

on the old one,,,,the body mount was just bolted to the fiberglass and the bolt and washer had torn through the glass..so

after making the new brace....I embedded a 1/8" steel plate into the glass...this way the plate for the body mount can be bolted to the plate which is glassed in.....(hope that makes sence)

while the plate was curing...i moved towards the front and started grinding out all the inside corners....then added 3 layers of 1.5 oz chopmat to them....also repaired a few cracks here and there..
