The actual repair….

Here’s the real repair if anyone is interested. We don’t usually do rust but it’s slow so we took this in. Had to fab a patch out of a junk fender.

I thought this post would help others on here since I see a lot of rust questions. My close friend had a little rust on his vehicle and him knowing I’m a professional technician asked if I could fix it. I of course said yes but I’ve never done rust repair so I asked A1 for help. Here are the results so far. I used structural double side tape to hold the custom patch panel I fabricated onto the rusted area. Followed by a thin skim of bondo brand filler (best quality in the biz). I’m at the point to begin blocking using my pro grade ultra flat block for the most laser straight body work you’ve ever seen. I need to run down to tractor supply and get some new holland blue spray cans I think that’ll give a proper color match but that’s still a few days away. Now this is a close friend so I’m thinking of only charging $4,500usd for my professional services a bargain if you ask me. I hope this helps with your future rust repair endeavors.
