Default Shaving sides

Ok i talked to someone about finshing my sides and he was talking about that the gorilla hair fiberglass mix is bad, because it wont stick to the metal. But when i was look at another shop to do the sides on my red civic, they said when they would do it they would use the Gorilla hair and fiberglass. So what is the best way to do this?? The guy i talked to today told be when he shaves the sides he welds metal on. Should i go this way?? Thanks for the help.

Ask Bumnah too. He molded his own sides.

when I get mine done..and a buddy of mine that has had his done with welding and one that got it filled......the welded strip with minimal bondo just to clean it up is THE best way to do it. Lucky my buddy is a professional welder so he does it for a six pack and a lil help....I just gotta save up for the paint afterwards...but I would highly recomend putting in the metal instead of filler.

the thing about welding is that i heard that it can warp the metal. Is it all based on the welders skill??
