coololguy Jun 6th, 02, 3:01 PM i'm wanting to put some meats in the back of the velle, and i would need to roll the quarter where the wheelwell molding is.(by the way its a 70) i had to do body work there and if i start rollong it will the bondo crack. thanks 406_70_velle Jun 6th, 02, 3:18 PM yup, almost definately. I have never done it but I know ONE person who has. How body work was done? It is was a ding patche you might be ok. But I am in NO way shape or form a body guy. Good luck… Don ------------------ 1970 chevelle 406 - TH-350 - soon to be 411's 406velle (http://www.406velle.150m.com) 2 yrs into a rebuild and still breaking things twice and fixing it on the third. Randy Mosier Jun 6th, 02, 3:59 PM If you want to put some fat tires under there, you may want to consider a narrowed axle and wheel tubs. I'm not sure what the laws are in each state, but there may be an issue with having tires stick out past the wheel housing. Besides, the 70s look is dead. The modern Pro Street look makes for a much neater looking car. Joey B Jun 6th, 02, 8:16 PM Modern Pro Street look? Its qiuickly becoming as dead as the 70s look IMO. shannon Jun 7th, 02, 11:06 PM Pro Street will never be dead....it may be taking a back seat to the current Pro Touring craze, but there are new Pro Street/Engineered cars at almost all the major shows every year. IMO. Shannon normie Jun 8th, 02, 12:03 AM back too the original question.. How much "Bondo" (and is it really bondo brand filler) is on the quarter? If you do the rolling with a baseball bat slowly you might not crack it if it is just a tiny patch and not a mud bogg http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif ------------------ X-Ray View of my Chevelle :D (http://www.normieschevelle.com/sideview.jpg) Getting Closer (http://www.normieschevelle.com/passfull.jpg) my baby in primer (http://www.normieschevelle.com/prime/primerdrv.jpg) MARTINSR Jun 8th, 02, 1:36 AM It really doesn't matter how thick it is, it WILL crack it the filler went down to the edge. If the filler is up away from the edge of the wheel well it "should" hold on because the metal will only be bending down at the edge and under it. If the filler goes down to the edge, heck yes it will crack. The metal will roll "away" from the less malleable "bondo". ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" normie Jun 8th, 02, 2:48 PM I meant that if there is a tiny patch of bondo up near the sail panel, and he is rolling the wheelhouse area it won't crack.. I believe unless it is really close to the edge, or you oilcan the panel the bondo shouldn't crack.. It all depends on where and how much bondo is there, and how heavy your going too be pushing on the wheel lip! ------------------ X-Ray View of my Chevelle :D (http://www.normieschevelle.com/sideview.jpg) Getting Closer (http://www.normieschevelle.com/passfull.jpg) my baby in primer (http://www.normieschevelle.com/prime/primerdrv.jpg) | ||
