Questions about learning how to fix rust

Can someone recommend a good tutorial or youtube that will help me to learn how to fix rust? I'm particularly interested in fixing the rust above my wheel well.
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Re: Questions about learning how to fix rust

I'm assuming this is for the t-all...do they make patch panels for it?....if you have to build them from scratch you'll need some basic tools...most of us dont have the big shop equipment to repop a needed piece but can get by with some small scale stuff...
I'd suggest reading thru MP&Cs build on the 55 wagon....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...564201&page=42

Re: Questions about learning how to fix rust

Here's some pictures of it. I don't think its as bad as it could be, but nonetheless, the rust has to be dealt with. I think the PO may have to tried to put some filler in the wheel well picture.

Re: Questions about learning how to fix rust

the spot under the grill should be a easy fix...looks like a flat patch would fix that right up......
the wheel well is a different story...your working with curves,radius,transitions,etc..
with the tooling needed to fab a repair piece it maybe easy to find a donor panel...yeah ..I know those are everywhere...
I would sandblast or strip to bare metal that area around the wheel well to see what you have left to work with...

Above the wheel well is what worries me the most because of the reasons you stated and I don't think I can do that myself. I may have to hire by buddy to do that and I'll do the rest.
