Cutting out the Rust

Found the expected rust that all Suburban owners find at some time in their lives. Unfortunately, the area in behind the quarter panels and the dog legs between the door and rear tire also have rust and I’m unable to find those patch panels out on the web. Spoke to one guy that said “Currently that part is not being made” “You’ll have to find a donor our make something”. Since finding a donor in the this area will be next to impossible, I’ll take the two front inner fenders (wheelhouse) that are being replaced and use the curved metal pieces out of them to weld good metal back into place in behind the replacement panels, unless someone has a better idea (please let me know if you do). The remaining rear quarter panel and rocker will be cut out tomorrow, let’s hope there are no surprises!
