I would agree that their fiberglas stran type filler would work to be honest. I am still waiting to see how well my mirko is going to hold up to actual street use.

Though higher quality of materials used will hold up better to any type of wear and tear. So if these get beat to crap like just about everyone says they do, they might just hold out longer w/o having to repair and might keep it to just repainting for the most part. That's all I'm really saying, because I KNOW that bondo filler is not that good and is not that durable compared to what else is on the market. Just trying to look out for y'all, not trying to step/stomp on toes

BTW....
I love Impala's and had always wanted a '64 SS. But the grass is always greener type of deal is going on, because now I want a '58 Impala

Its all good...I have a new Mirko sitting in my garage that I want to put on in the next month or so (have had it for over a year ). I want it molded in...just don't care for the bolt on look. My main concern is what would be the best adheasive to to get it started and I wonder if riveting it as well would help before I glass it in. Roads around hear aren't too bad so I'm not real worried about it getting damaged. I do plan to do a skid plate on the bottom with a thin sheet (0.063") of aluminum like somebody else did on here a while back. I think that will stop the majority of the damage from small scrapes.
