[Johnson] Ranger II Front Panel Repair Question

[Robert Sauvan]

What I have done in the past is to laminate a thin piece of metal on the 
back side of the hole with contact adhesive. Then use auto body putty to 
fill the hole and sand it flush with the front side of the panel. After 
priming and finishing the panel, it will no longer be seen. I am able to 
paint and silkscreen your panel but I have become too busy at this point 
to take on any more projects this fall. My work can be seen on my 
website w0ybs.com.

Good luck with your project. Chuck K1TLI does restorations as well.
