they got a lot of replacement body parts... might have what you are looking for. Call him if you don't see what you need- he can do more than he shows on the site.

There aint no home remedy for cancer and there ain't one for rust. rust is cancer- the cancer needs to be cut off- and a new part welded on. if you can't weld at home then it's not a do it yourselfer... but join the club I'm getting some rust taken care of soon to- and needless to say I won't be "doing it at home."

Once I get the body work knocked out I'll post so many pics of it that yall will be sick of it. I got the engine rebuilt- and am about to rebuild the front end- THEN I'm doing some body work (rust) and paint.
If you can stitch weld than those parts are relatively easy to install. i'm getting the fender well strip for the rear- both sides... Those chrome POS's trapped salt and rain and destroyed it.

I cut most of that out on mine and closed it off with new metal. 22 guage... mig welded on. See my thread here. There are only really a couple of pictures that show what I did with that area, but it should give you an idea of something you can do. When I build my rear bumper, there will be wraparounds that hide that area anyways.

Sort of. I just cut a straight line across, just enough to get all the rust, then I cut and bent a piece of metal the right size to block off the new "hole". If you look at this picture, you'll see the metal patch welded in. I then smoothed it off with bondo, and temporarily spray painted it to protect it from rusting again for now.
