Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart

I would guess that is more about rust reforming than anything. I can't Imagine there is too much flex going on back there unless you were rocking some serious HP before. I think regular body filler is a little more forgiving in the flexibility aspect. The "all metal" fillers are a lot more rigid. I'll use something like all metal filler just because that's what I've always done on rust repairs.

On my 1st Dart 20 years ago, I did a super fast weekend rust cover and paint the day I bought it. Just used expanding foam into wire brushed and rust stop - rust holes in the quarters and rocker panels. Used All Metal filler. It still didn't have any rust bubbles 4 years later when I took it apart to restore it. Then I stupidly sold it for parts while I was away at college.
It wasnt from flexing it was just a piss poor job I didnt know what I was doing and the bondo was way to thick!! Polymer fillers are not suitable for more than a thin layer. I cant remember exactly but I want to say like a 1/16 of an inch thick tops. That wan more like 3/4 thick in places! You can see on the other side I ripped it all out how deep it was lol. But yea you are right I didnt do a very good job at removing all the old rusty surface either. This is my 2nd time around I will do a better job lol
