like the second one, smoothing out the panel. I was wondering which one works the best, fiberglass or bondo?

I have a family member that does body work, he told me that bondo would work best, he did recommend me to get Dynalite, since its easier to work on, and it does not deform when painted(as others that give a wavy look when finished).

bondo would work well for that application as well as a fibreglass filler, but i think it looks better with the camaro letters imo. you going to be putting any emblems there after its filled?

just use a light weight bondo so you can easily san it down the way you want it, if its not done right the panel will look wavey and will not look good at all
