Weld in sheet metal is the proper way to do it.
Bondo will eventually crack and look like shit but it will work.

yah ive heard about using sheetmetal....ya bondo absorbs moisture which causes it to crack and thats the last thing I want

I'm guessing welding in sheetmetal would be quite expensive!

Advantage to driving my cheap car... the side moulding are just held on with double sided tape! No body work necessary! :rofl: :D
