Bondo or not, they used prison inmates to help build their cars. inmates with little or no experience. That'll do it for me. Still, excessive Bondo use is just silly. For some reason in the USA people love plastering it on like a wonder filler. Where as in other countries excessive use is frowned upon. Do the hard yards, don't cut corners.
