    I get the fit and radius as good as I can before welding, spend a bit of extra time smoothing the welds in the radius, add some welds on the inside where possible, then start the filler process with Evercoat filler with the short strand fiberglass... As Jay mentioned, fiberglass and steel move different with the heat and it's just a matter of time till the fiberglass to metal seam shows up... Good fitment and thin coats of filler is a much better way to do it!

    so you are saying to use the giberglass( not the dhemical part) with the evercote. do they make a plastic filler with glass in the resiN? I've used fibewrclass as a cloth and resin and as a filler type of product ie: short hair, long hair etc. just wanna make sure my defs are the same for the differant products
