What happened to the backside of the hood repair? more to come?
Its looking good man! I can't wait to see the end result.
what kinda of speed can these humvees get too like would i be able to drive it on the highway or will it not go that fast?
also another tip when you go to redo the paint on the area you patched if you use a high Build primer first it does a really good job at filling in the imperfections which still may be left behind from doing the repair.
Thanks for sharing the video, nice work!
They make a fiber reinforced Bondo which works really well for those Humvee hoods. We fixed several Humvee hoods with cracks and broken chunks just like what you're working on however with areas such as what you're doing it's best to use a Bondo that has the fibers mixed into it for better reinforcement and it will hold up longer without separation. In a case like yours where you have the extra reinforcement behind the hood that you had to cut away if you would use the fiberglass reinforced Bondo and applied it liberally so it goes on thick and seeps through the holes well, if doing this you would have been able to eliminate the step of grinding out the back side to put a patch on and also it would have saved you a lot of time while still keeping the structural integrity in place.
dakota, put some gloves on while working with fiberglass. you will get lots of little bits in your skin
yeeeeeeee another upload
Thank you so much. I'm working on my M1045A2 and videos like this help tremendously. Please keep up the great videos bro.
Hey, love the videos, love the HMMVs, do you sell them afterwards? Im looking into buying one, but im in Europe, so it would have to be road legal 🙂 keep up the great work, and videos!
