I'm mid GT-ish conversion and stripped my entire car to see what was going on under the paint. It turned out bondo was going on under the paint... a metric sh*t ton of bondo to be precise.
The driver's door was the highlight. They drilled holes to pull the damage, and then just bondo'd straight over the holes. The fact it lasted for 30 years without the slightest crack is, I guess, testament to their repair skills...
That's my pinky for scale.
The aftermath, covered in fresh epoxy until I have time to fit the new fiberglass skins.
My 356 was like that, they gas welded it, warped every panel, pounded it with hammers, and mudded it up.
Thousands of dollars later, it now has very little filler.
