howdy all. recently i replaced my front and rear bumpers. i just drilled out the metal strips that hold the rer bumper corners to the sides of the rear quarter panels. now im left with 3 holes on each side. i dont have a welder or access to one. any ideas on how i could fill those holes? besides bondo

Try JB Weld. Smooth it down a little before it sets up hard. After it hardens, you can grind it down like metal.

thats kinda what i was leaning towards. thanks 4 the quick reply

anything like that, jb weld, bondo etc

im afraid bondo will crack

Get the area around the holes down to bare metal (so that whatever you use will adhere good) before you apply it.

you're right, bondo might crack. but i've never seen bondo crack as long as the substrate is in good shape and doesnt bend. you also might want to put some sort of back plate behind the holes. if you can

Guarantee JB won't crack. Just mush it in the holes good so it'll grab on the other side like an anchor.

ill have to take another look but im pretty sure theres no way to get to the backi i think i will go with jb weld. thanks all for the input

you could also fiberglass it

Liquid nails work pretty good too and it's very flexible
