Ouch. Big Rock.
But not big enough to catch the bumper.
New exhaust, too. Straightened pretty easy with a long pipe slid over the pea shooter.
JB Weld?

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
Try JB but that will be a trouble spot, hot and eventually rusty. A real weld would be better. Do it before it oxidizes.

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
Can't handle exhaust temperatures. A silicate-rich muffler putty may do the trick, but get the kind that requires water to activate, press it in enough to lock in the inside a bit. Clean artfully on the outside so it is smooth and not too thick. Avoid big rocks in the Ghia. Take the bus . . .ruckman101 wrote: JB Weld?

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
Fogged frosty windows, unfamiliar territory, early morning, reverse. Glad it bent back ok without snapping off.

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
What about brazing it? Or even a quick weld-bead.

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
Actually, my father-in-law (still getting used to that) recently picked up some goop he used to repair cracks in a wood stove. I think that will be the ticket.

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
Wood stoves aren't under as much pressure as exhaust though....

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
I went with the product my father-in-law had, which is actually made expressly for exhaust repairs.
Got things cleaned up some.
And applied.
I'll hit it with a touch of paint after the heat cure. The stuff is supposed to be good up to 1,000 degrees. We will see.

Re: Ouch. Big Rock.
It's actually a pretty small can. It was the dickens to stir up, but it did. According to the label, a shelf life of a year after opening, longer if you top the contents with a layer of their recommended thinning agent, which we don't have. Thinking of applying it to the heater boxes, as they are kinda loose at the exhaust pipes exchanger assemblies that go through them. A twenty four hour dry time between layers of no more than 1/4 inch, and then ideally heat cured at 400 degrees for a bit. In this case, running the engine.
