Need Help wirh some Body Work

I have rust around the edge of the wheel wells. Right above the chrome accent. I have no access to any wielding equipment. Do I just fill it with bondo and sand it into shape? Or could I clean out the rust and screw in some bush whacker fenders flares.

def clean the rust sand it off or cut it out... if its just surface rust you can sand it off then bondo .. if there are holes you need to either use new metal or screen or something to fill the holes then bondo.. if you plan on keeping the truck do it right!!!.. if you just get rid of the rust then use some rust covering paint fender flares would be fine

agree, screen seems to work well, in addition to bondo you can use some fiberglass if you have access and the knowledge. but dif. get rid of the rust first otherwise it will come right back.

Just about any auto parts store should have them. They should be with the bondo and body supplies.
