As little as humanly possible. If there is a hole in that car that wasn't put there by Pontiac I want it filled with STEEL.

make sure you specify that, you may end up with something looking like an armoured car from WWII lol.

Acutally I was VERY specific when I told him that, and I told him MORE than once. I made myself CRYSTAL clear on THAT point.

in the end your going to get some kind of filler. but the most important thing, they should be patching the metal correctly trying to align seams as much as possible and also mending the metal to where minimal filler is needed.

Shows you what I know about body work. I just assumed you welded new metal in then ground it down so it matched what was removed............either by man or mother nature.
