When I got the car there was a dent there , filed it with foam and will smooth it out later.. well it looked like that ran into somthing there was actually a small hole in the panel.. like they hit a pointed somthing or nother..

Foam seems to be my cure all for anything.. super light and easily carve-able.. skim it with fiberglass resin and then bondo to smooth it out.. super light end result and strong as hell.

I pose a different question...

Have you figured what is the environmental impact of the foam project?

The "saw dust" blowing into the woods where it will not break down for 350 years. How many earthworm will die because they can not crap out the foam? And die from intestinal distress???

What about the deer that may be scared to eat the grass near your car's construction site because they think your car is the ultra rare Golden Aero Bear and die of starvation?

No one cares about the little animals do they!!!???!!!

Oh the humanity!!!!

You ought to put a little winky face at the end of that. Otherwise your post is indistinguishable from what a hard left / direct action environmentalist would write and believe. Some people might think you are serious. You are not serious, are you?

If the hole was sort of squared off it was a hit with a pick axe or maybe a mattock.
