Thanks for sharing the video, nice work! They make a fiber reinforced Bondo which works really well for those Humvee hoods. We fixed several Humvee hoods with cracks and broken chunks just like what you're working on however with areas such as what you're doing it's best to use a Bondo that has the fibers mixed into it for better reinforcement and it will hold up longer without separation. In a case like yours where you have the extra reinforcement behind the hood that you had to cut away if you would use the fiberglass reinforced Bondo and applied it liberally so it goes on thick and seeps through the holes well, if doing this you would have been able to eliminate the step of grinding out the back side to put a patch on and also it would have saved you a lot of time while still keeping the structural integrity in place.

also another tip when you go to redo the paint on the area you patched if you use a high Build primer first it does a really good job at filling in the imperfections which still may be left behind from doing the repair.

Thank you so much. I'm working on my M1045A2 and videos like this help tremendously. Please keep up the great videos bro.

Its looking good man! I can't wait to see the end result.

dakota, put some gloves on while working with fiberglass. you will get lots of little bits in your skin

you should just sand the inside and re-inforce it then just touch the outside up, cutting into the back side makes it weaker also I hope thats fiber glass putty

I would fiberglass the top side to

Fiberglass work with no gloves on... You're insane

Do you sale any of the Hummers? Just asking since I live in Florida as well.

Hey, love the videos, love the HMMVs, do you sell them afterwards? Im looking into buying one, but im in Europe, so it would have to be road legal :) keep up the great work, and videos!

You can modify them to be road legal for Europe, though I am not sure if he is allowed to sell them outside of the U.S. since the Army reserves it's right to take the vehicles back after selling them in case they need them.

My thought exactly, I too want a Humvee from the U.S. , like... 40k for a Humvee in good condition? Hell, I can get one for 10k $US in the same condition, even with shipping and licensing I will be better off...
