A little “auto body” work
Sick of big hole and sure as hell am not spending real money on it. Just a bit of spray foam and some JB Weld. Probably going to give some bondo a try then the whole truck is getting the ole tractor red

I plan on doing the same thing to mine. I’ll use bondo instead of JBWeld.

I was told by a another engineer that the jb weld is needed before bondo bc bondo over foam will crack very quickly. Supposedly jb weld is supposed to keep it from cracking 🤷 im down to screw around with it

Might not even need bondo, the JB weld looks pretty high :)

At least cut the rust off so it doesn't spread before the spray foam and mesh

If you're gonna do all that, why not put a patch panel in? Especially if you're gonna bondo it.

Because life is meaningless and nothing actually matters so why not just fuck around

I say stuff like this all the time and everyone is worried i'm going to delete myself. While that's a nice option and all, it's just facts. Love seeing it out in the wild lol.

I feel like sometimes people just want to play around and see what happens, I've done it to my own car, once it's to the point of no return
I had a truck we use scissors to start lol
