Repair holes in body.....(I know they add character or attach original mounts). What have others done to cover/repair antenna drill holes on the hmmwv body? I have read through 54 pages on this area and have not come up with anything besides bondo.
Thanks
Gary

I'm not a big fan of Bondo.
I took a Lincoln spool gun and aluminum welded some smaller holes. Then grind them down and paint. On the bigger diameter holes (1/2"-2") I made an aluminum insert and welded that in. After you grind down and paint you can never tell the hole was there.

The panels on a hmmwv flex way to much to get a filler like bondo to to stay. It would break out or crack pretty quickly.

Yamabro is correct. The only permanently to repair is to use a filler patch and weld it up, then grind it flat.
