Great video, I enjoyed it! Also, I know it's not a show truck and I don't know crap when it comes to body-work...random question though. What about the very thin gap between the bottom of the edge of the old metal and the top of the fresh metal where the weld is? Since it's in a wheel well, surely mud and dirt and moisture is going to fly up and get trapped up in there, no?
@11co59553 жыл бұрын
Yea, this isn't the best way to fix it, but it gets the job done. To avoid further rusting from the dirt and moisture that is bound to get up there, you need to spray some undercoating in that gap, as well as spray some fluid film all through there at least once every fall. If you do that religiously, as well as spray your hose in there a few times a year, this patch will easily last the remaining life of the truck

No this is not car show trophy winning bodywork. But if a guy can keep a shitbox passing inspection until major catastrophic mechanical disintegration.Because the cost of replacement of parts well past wear limits the manufacturers & engineers thought conceivable.And its still operable.Then this is great bodywork for the price.

Hi Amesie.I just bought a 2002 Ford F150XLT extended cab . I'm going to make one good truck out of the two. Those panels are going to make that part of the job fairly easy for me and it will also be my first stab at this type of work. I have a question. Right in front of the rear bumper and below the tail light, the bottom corner is rusted out (a pretty good hole) A guy mentioned that you can get pre-molded metal pieces that once you cut away the rust, you can slap these on like the panels in the video. Amesie, what are they called exactly? Lastly, where are you located? If you're not too far away, maybe I just bring you the work. Thanks.

How come when you traced the new panel onto the box of the truck you just removed where the rust was and welded the whole panel over the existing box side? Why not just cut it all out to fit the whole new panel? Isn't that going to make the body work more difficult when trying to hide where you welded? Asking because ill be tackling the same job soon.
@andrewstevens92467 жыл бұрын
Bray91 he traced it to know where he would have to soft brush down to the bare metal so when he welds the new panel on the paint won't contaminant the weld bead. And also, he left the metal on to make the new panel strong since there is no inner structure behind the panel, assuming it rusted out just like the wheel wells.

I had one side done on an F350. It cost about $2500. It included the outer and inner fender rust repair, matched paint, replacement "FX4" sticker and body trim. Parts and paint was just over $500, the rest was labor. In my case, the truck was worth it, since it was the only rust area and it brought the value up and looked like new again.
