55 Chevy quarter panel rust repair

[@Richard4616]

I made a patch panel on a 72 Nova lower fender 24 years ago. Right now it has a small bubble in it. Doesn’t look bad. Lasted a long time. I was a mechanic not a body man.

Thanks! I'm not a professional by any means, just learning from other, much more talented KZbinrs like @ddspeedshop and @fitzeesfabrications

Question: does cutting rust out COMPLETELY and patching with sheet metal stop rust permanently?

[@stuartbontrager]

Well, that’s the hope. If you do manage to get it all cut out and replaced, then paint it up so the new stuff is sealed, it will last a long time. It could still rust eventually, it’s metal afterall, but should last longer then the original because most cars didn’t have any paint on the backside of the sheet metal anyway.
