trim removal.

I've got a 73 F100 that has the big wide trim going down the length of the truck. I would like to remove that trim and fill in the holes. Would bondo be acceptable or should they be welded?

Use something like Duraglass, that is waterproof, or Allmetal. Don't use regular "bondo"

If it was mine, I would weld it to make sure that they never pop out or crack.

Just MHO.

Way to go. Now just weld the other side, grind smooth, skin with bondo, paint & you set. Get us some pics when your through.
