Re: 72Jimmy 1st attempt at rust removal

Thank you Thor.... Updates on the project. I got the patch panel over the wheel well done, and then found out I did not set up the metal very well before I welded. Turns out it had a large dip where the welds went. I tried to attach a stud (stud welder) to the side in an attempt to pull it out but I could not get it to stay in the shape I wanted. Frustrated, I decided to pull the whole back outer fender off.. I was worried about it while drilling out all of the many spot welds and peeling back the metal, but after the panel came off I felt better about it. I am now able to get a hammer to the back and have beat the damaged part back out to almost strait. (well strait enough for bondo work).
