Body Work

[RangerWeaver]

Has anyone ever heard of clay or plaster being used on the body panels? I was in a fender bender on Monday and happened to crack and chip off a nice chunk of what looks like clay from the drivers side just below the trim near my tail light.... There is a nice dent under the clay/plaster.

sounds like body filler. it's kinda like plaster and used to fill in holes then sanded down. feels and looks a lot like dried plaster

Thanks. Was kinda hoping that it wasn't since I bought this truck used under stipulation that it had not been in an accident or had any body work done

a picture would help but i don't really have any doubt it's body filler

It's bondo. Been there, sanded it off, re-applied. lol


I bet the PO backed into something and patched it with bondo.

Here's the pix from the accident

Also Dodge Dude maybe you could help me on my other thread under fluid leak

Oh yeah, bondo for sure. A lot of bondo.


Personally, I'd just rip it all out and live with the dent until I could punch it out and do it right. lol

That's what I was planning to do once I found out it was bondo. Thanks
