A lot of guys use duraglass for the body work. Just prep the metal good so the duraglass gets a good bite. I haven't personally done one so I can't say but that's what I have been told when I asked about having to repair mine.

I did four small stitch welds and filled the cavity with the epoxy Bobs sends with it. I then used short strand reinforced filler to fill the sides and finish it out. Have done a few this way with no failures.
