Gee I appreciate the battles of egos. It is fun to watch. But I never got and answer to what for me was a serious question. How do you work metal without using heat. I have personally done a lot of body work. Primarily on total wrecks and owned over the years several body shops. We always used heat to work the metal. In some cases labor was cheaper than materials so any savings on materials was appreciated.

Having followed this fight for a while, I really really don't understand how people can even thnink for 1 millisecond that the rust damage in question is oly a spot. Anybody who has worked on cars with this kind of rust damage visible on the outside knows there's a lot more to be found on the inside of the fender. No way this can be treated as a local area of rust. And after reading all posts, I now know that most people contributing to this thread are actually very experienced people that own bodyshops or garages. Have you never seen how nature can reclaim a car back to the ore, given time?

I just wanted to say that I have seen thousands of cars in my lifetime, and sat in dozens more, and your while your opinion may or may not be the same as my own other than subtle differences, I resent the fact that you said it, and call into question your expertise and manhood as an observer of cars.

My expertise you may question. My manhood you may not.

No ego tripping from my side. You may have read that both my expertise and manlyhood are questioned. Now that I have little left to loose I can safely give you this top-tip: if you want to try glue to join bodypanels: try "Hosch" industrial glue. It is a granulate and a liquid. When you apply some of the granualte between the metal joint and add some of the liquid, it bonds as strong as a weld. See www.hosch-kleber.de
It is used in icraft industry.

Alright, alright, I was just kidding. You didn't have to send pictures!
