What is the best way to fix a small hole in a car body? Thanks!

Sent to Car Experts December 10 09:42 PM

I have a small rusty hole in the rear panal of my 62 Chev. The hole is clean now and primed, and I can access it from both sides but I need to know the best way to proceed (no, i don't have a welder and probably won't buy one, so I need to use some procedure using Bondo or similar product). Thanks!!

Get yourself a small container of body filler and a tube of hardener,cover the back of the hole with duct tape or something similar of your choice.Mix up a small amount of bondo/hardener-"directions on the containers" smooth on the whole with a putty knife and lat dry.Repeat as necessary-then sand smooth and prime/paint.
