Hey,

i've been looking around the site and can't really find a how too on getting rid of the rusty wheel wells. I think i'm going to use POR-15 as it seems to be the best... however the rust is real bad in the wells. i'll try to get some pics up later. has anyone used the fiber stuff that por sells.... or does anyone have a good way to fill the massive holes and get rid of the rust.

thanks in advance

 

Need to weld in new panels.

 

i don't know how to weld... and i don't know where i could get panels that aren't rusty as well.

 

you dont have to weld them in, most shops use panel adhesive and i have even used it a few times. If you have some body work experience you could do it yourself, but if not it would be a good idea to find a good body shop.

steel weld-ins .. but I have some customers that have "glued " them on ...

 

To fix the rust with paint, bondo etc, you need to get around the backside of the panel. I tried what you're thinking and was really carefull and the rust has already bubbled back up some 6 months later.

Were you the guy from BC4x4 who bought those Pro Comp shocks off of me?

 

i saw those replacements, how would i "glue" those on? cut away all the rust, por 15 it, then put them on... could i then use fiberglass or something along those lines to fill where they don't?

matt16, no i wasn't that guy... i wish i had better shocks... maybe once i fix the rust and the cv joints on my blazer i'll look into some of those.

 

Best bet is to replace any infected panel. Once rust starts it doesnt matter what you put on top of it, it will find its way through.
