I have my doors shaved.....
Hey whats up. I was reading your thread and you spoke of getting suicide and or shaving the handles. Well i do all types of custom body work. I worked on Sentras, Altimas, Hondas, Expeditions..etc.. Donot bondo over your existing handles..."PLEASE". Unless you want to spend bout 15 on a gallon of bondo.....and then as soon as your finished and you slam your door.....all that bondo willl just faLL OFF.
Heres a easy safe and reliable way to do it
-research body shops or specialty iron or plating shops, and ask how much to weld a piece of sheet metal over the existing handle opening.
-compare prices.....usaully about $40 to $75 a door
-take your handles off yourself (save money) make sure your windows are down
-take your ride to shop of your choice
-about an hour or two later pick up your ride (depending on shop)
-make sure its nice and grinded smooth...
-go home whip out the bondo
-and apply a small layer to even the surface out
-take your time
-if you plan on painting the car soon after.... just leave it to the paint shop to do the final prepping
-and "BAMM" you have a highly fashionable ride
-also the same applys to the trunk also
-but for the antennae just put a layer or two of fiberglass underneath the opening(s) and let dry for an hour in the sun....then add a couple of layers of bondo on top.
-get fiberglass cloth.....cut to about an 1.5-2inches larger than whole tape to the underside of body panel or hood using extra strength duct tape small strips should do
-make sure its plenty snug
-then add the fiberglass resin to the fiberglass cloth through the antennae whole or window squirters, then coat the under side portion also
-after about 45 min or an hour depending on outside temp your ready to add about 2 to three thin layers of bondo
-and again let the paint shop finish if not totally sure of final look
.....I hope all info was woth while..please feel free to ask me any other body mods..ive prety much done or helped do them all......
