    Best Filler?

    I have a few small dings and dents in my Model A rear fenders - what filler do you pro body guys use?

    I've just been using U-pol Fantastic. It's very good, goes on easy and sands well.
    Layabout.

    yep, i've used that too. hammer and dolly it as best as you can first though so you use as little filler as possible.

    Thanks for getting back to me.
    I'm not much of a panel beater (need some training, should probably go on a short course) but have done the best that I can - I did wonder if running them through an English wheel would help? But none of my mates has one that I could try.

    No don’t run them through a wheel, that’ll just stretch you into a whole world of trouble. Best off doing the best you can with a hammer and weight then giving it a skim of Fantastic.

    P.S filler being discussed openly by hotrodders, well I never.

    Will, i totally agree about the english wheel
    and filler? most rods are plastic anyway so a good dollop of the stuff won't matter a bit
