    Good thing my P71 came with the spotlight still attached. No handle, but I jacked one from a wrecked P71 at Pick n Pull. Had my P71 just had a hole, I'd have installed a whole spotlight and called it a boom done. I'm much better at replacing parts than I am body work.

      I really would rather put a spotlight there, but they are ridiculously high to get one that "fits" and I'm not sure if I'm ready to gamble trying to put one from a Vic or Tahoe there.

    I've still got the spotlight in mine, but it's old and doesn't look the best. I thought about removing it because I wanted to install a trans temp and oil pressure gauge on the pillar.
    Mine doesn't have the drilled hole, it's more of a half moon cut out on the door frame.

    • @WJHandyDad

      this stuff would probably repair the half moon shape too. It would take a bit more finesse to get it right. Maybe use tape to hold the shape when installing it?

    I've read having a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence.
    After watching the EZ Break Guy, I'd like to nominate you for honorary membership in Mensa.
    Also, when you're standing that close in front of the camera 1080p HD is not your friend. You have a face that screams 240p.

    Why do all that then leave the screws in? Unscrew them and fill them as well if you're doing this.

      I knew I was going to put a spotlight in eventually, but you're right, if this was going to be a permanent fill (like I did on the Taurus Interceptor) I would have filled everything

    Mine doesn’t have the silicone, just a hole, would it still work if I used that numetal product?

    • @WJHandyDad
      @WJHandyDad  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah, the silicone was just a temporary filler. You'll be better off not having to clean it off. The Numetal really does a nice job of filling.

    Would you use Jb weld Steele stick epoxy putty? Then bondo over and paint ? Thinking of putting it on the inside rather than outside..

      I did that on my Taurus and it came out pretty nicely. I think I filmed video of it just haven't edited yet.

      you can do this anywhere on the vehicle that you need to fill a hole. It's by far the cheapest and easiest method to fill holes that also holds up and is strong

      what is shown in the video you are complaining about is a cheap and quick repair that is better than stuffing the hole with RTV or covering it with a sticker
