If I use a synthetic body filler such as Bondo to make repairs on my car will I be disqualified in a car show?
The answer should be no. First of all you should try to use as little of any filler as is possible by straightening the body work first. Filler should only be used to finish any areas that could not be fixed by body work. With this small amount of filler used it would be about impossible for anyone to tell that you had used filler anyway. Technically, since synthetic fillers were not available during the production of the MGTD, lead would be the preferred filler material.
