    I have a 99 gtp with door jam rusting issues on both of the rear doors and its not the rocker panel.So i was just wandering if this is a known problem or if there is a fix other than bond o.

    there is no RIGHT way to fix rust without doin some bondo work, unless its really light rust. a good body man can bondo it n it will look sweet

    I dont know much of body work that's why i got my degree in high performance auto technician, haha. I didn't know if it would be better for me to cut out the rest with a cut off wheel and weld in a new peiece rather than slapping some bondo on the pretty good size holes.

    yes, but have u seen anybody else do it? since when does everybody hate it so much when someone does something different?
    i understand it to a point, but that doesnt change the fact that i can tell him EXACTLY wut to do to fix it, seeing as i do it part time myself.
    i WAS willing to help him out, but that was unnecessary.

    Yeah, every ricer out there. Besides all that, I think what turned him off to your advise is your rust spots on your hood.

    HAHA sorry to start that heated chat. The bolted down hood scoops did throw me off and if u did the work to cut them out why not just mold them in. As far as the bondo issuies i think im happier with the idea of cutting and welding in new sheet metal.

    Started the thread to see if anybody had good advice other than bondo.
