Covering widebody holes?
 
Hey guys, I have rocketbunny v1 fenders, Wanting to switch up to a new widebody. And I want to weld and paint match the existing holes. Wondering how much that would cost? Would it be an arm and a leg? if you have any experiences on this or been through it! please let me know! Thank you

I reckon that depends upon how many holes you have.

I suggest you stop by a couple body shops and get some estimates.

(it will be about twice as much as you think it should be)

OR, just stuff plugs in the holes and call it a "new look" ..... :w00t:

I doubt you'll even find a shop that wants to take on the task, welding all those holes.. your going to be creating a lot of heat/ warping on your panels

"Wanting to switch up to a new widebody"
Get a new kit that covers the existing holes

Best answer EVER!


Except you misspelt a word when you said "guys"

And if they did it would cost more than the kit.


There is an answer though.

I hear playdough works well.

Dadhawk 03-28-2018 01:40 PM

Wouldn't it be easier (and probably less costly) to just replace the fenders?
