I think a magnet would have found this...

That's a shame. Years ago I had a 75 K5 and it looked decent not great, bought it cheap and thought it would be a good start for a resto. Well fast forward to me getting ready for paint prep, bust out the DA sander and it was just bondo dust EVERYWHERE. Not an inch thick but some spots where almost 1/2.  Then discovered some one thought great stuff and cardboard was a suitable way to do body repair. Ended up not doing anything getting some tons and beat it up.

That can't be a real thing...  Well then again..

I've never used it but I have removed it. It's like rebar for concrete. Definitely a pain in the @$$ to remove! Behind it was news paper.

Wow, you'd never know the panel behind it had rusted to nothing.

You can find several bodyshop manuals from reputable sources back in the day showing chicken wire and filler being used to repair holes in bodywork.

I thought it was just an Iowa thing. :laugh:

Here is some on a 1970 GTO that my dad has in his restoration shop. By brother and I removed some body filler today. 

 

Chunks of the side side of the rear valence. Held together with bondo.

Is there going to be any car left once you remove all the rust and bondo?

The roof, rockers, and trunk floors are good, along with most of the cowl. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING else needs replacing on the body.
