Default Fooling inspection!!!!

My fender well is rusted out and need to find a quick and easy product like a puddy i can just apply and sand down so when i get the truck inspected it will pass. It dosnt need to last just look good and fill in the hole for that certain day. I was told to use sheetmetal and pop rivets but a adhesive puddy sounds alot easier. Is there any thing out there that i can use that will form to my hole , fill in the rust spot and make it look good for the inspector. I also have rust holes in the floor board. Whats the best and easiest way to go?

x2 with the bondo, and if you want a quick fix for the floor pans, just cut out the rot, and rivet in a new peice from www.lmctruck.com

Pop riveting a piece of metal would be ALOT faster and easier than trying to globb in some Bondo.

I agree with NGM. I had to do that on a little Ford Farenza years ago. I had no floor and my boyfriend at the time told me I didn't need one. Notice he is now the Ex-Boyfriend.
