Thanks for the link raggedjim. I'll order some today. I'm having trouble finding an epoxy primer in a spray can. Is there such a thing? For the small area I have to fix, I don't want to have to get a spray gun, compressor, mix paint, etc. Unless of course that is the only option.

DSRAVEN, I thought about body warping and bracing it, but the area is fairly small and the firewall is in tact along with the running boards and horizontal floor supports. I'm hoping those are enough to keep things from moving on me.

It looks as though my original list has too many steps...

1. Cut out rusted through metal
2. Grind, scrape and wire brush all loose rust and debris until you can't get anymore debris to come off.
3. Shape the replacement area
4. Fit the new panel and cut it to the size, shape it needs
5. Spray weldable primer on any bare metal to be welded
6. Attach clamps to fit the panel tightly
7. Spot weld lap joints, weld butt joints
8. Clean up welds
9. Finish the job with epoxy primer
10. Drink and enjoy your work
