Thanks , this is just the video I needed to attack a smash in the back of my RV.
This was the video I was missing after watching at least 10 other fiberglass repair videos. I had more than a crack when something crashed through my T-top on a classic Corvette during a winter storm. I didn’t know whether or not to just make a hole and repair with a clean hole or salvage what I could and patch it together and go from there. Now I know I’m going to try the latter with a board back in the repair. So glad you guys took the time to do this video.
I actually saw this piece in person and it was really damaged, final job looked great.
Thanks Nick! Always a pleasure to work on your awesome projects! Glad you got to stop by and see this piece.
Such Kings, I have a cracked door on a trackcar. Gave me a lot of tips other videos didn't. Many thanks.

This is totally awesome. I'm studying videos like yours so I can repair the fiberglass bodywork on my crashed road racing motorcycle. This is gonna save me a few hundred bucks, prevent usable stuff from ending up in a land fill, and teach me some useful skills all in one project... love it!
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Amazing work! All kinds of damages in one. It’s so systemic. Beautifully done
Never thought of how to hold something together like the wood idea or even cardboard and hot glue, I will have to give this a try when I get to my fiberglass hood restore
Sometimes it's the simple, cheap or free things that work the best!

Great informative video, hope to use some of these techniques to fix my fiberglass truck cap.
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Forgot how i found this channel but I had noti's on. Was waiting on a update for the car hauler is why.
We just ordered a bunch of parts for the 4 link front suspension on air bags for the car hauler truck. Stay tuned, we will have a video soon! Thanks for following!
Damn dude, I was wondering how you were going to fix this engine cover. Nice work..
Thank you!
Would have like to seen you grind level / smooth out the fibreglass in the cracks and the application on your final finishing (assume fairing compound). Before primer and paint.
Thank you
A good fiberglass reinforced filler works great for an application like this, but gel coat could also be used.
Aviation manuals complicate this process. Looks nice. Was hoping you would talk about your repair materials and products though.
I will make a few videos here in the future explaining more of the product details. Don't forget to subscribe and get notified when we post it up!
How many hours did it take to do this repair?
The area that you used cardboard, did you remove cardboard before patching inside?
You really have to grind the hell out of. At least the back or it will just crack again. Taking anything loose out too. Really dig in aggressively.
As always. Interesting work. How much did the old Bus cost you?
Killer deal on the bus, 98k miles runs / drives excellent. 3500 bucks!
@@kimmelfab for what you are doing thats a steal. Congrats on that.
so how did u fill the holes from the screws?
Fiberglass reinforced filler.
How much $$$$ to replace that part with a new one?
I was told $18,000 USD to import new.
How much did you charge fir this?
We charge $125 / hour for fiberglass repair.
