lovemud · #1 09-26-2011, 08:02 PM

i ran into a tree and messed up the back of my bed. busted part of the bed off and busted my tail light. ido have all the parts that came off so thats not a problem. i have never messed around with body work as far as repairs so i would like to know if any one knows how to do some patch work and could point me into the right direction as far as what i need to buy ass far as bondo, glue that kind of stuff..
thanx

well a new tail light is needed of course, but as for the fiberglass, a bod shop will need to handle it.

maybe try an find a good bed side? could have some place spray it cheap. i say this since the holes for screwing the tail light in look to be messed up. this would save you alot of messin around

Fiberglass work is really not that hard, more than anything it is messy. Do a google search for a tutorial. Then practice a little and then go for it.

Some autoparts stores like Napa have fiberglass repair kits. Try that, Nothing to lose and everything to gain! When you're ready for the tail lights let me know I got a set for sale lol
