Rust panel patch
Nice work here. I’m always hesitant to take on the rust jobs, and usually turn them down because I don’t want to deal with a customer that won’t understand that rust may come back, and sometimes accelerate as well.
Am I wrong and should I be taking this work in? I’ve just had some bad experiences and have had to repaint quarter panels just so I don’t lose a customer. -Frank

If it came back within a year, you did something wrong such as not removing enough metal. Customer must realize going in that sometimes one must make up to 3 individual layers for one repair in one spot. Problem is, clients that understand what you're saying are usually the ones that tell you to skip a step ($$) and then complain as soon as the rust comes back. If you have enough work without dealing with rust, your life will be much better. JMHO |

Thanks franmar,I agree with pugsy on making sure you cut out as much rust as possible, and treating what you can't,either by blasting or rust converter. Epoxy primer is also a must for preventing corrosion in my opinion. No guarantees when it comes to rust coming back,especially if a car gets driven.Cars rust in the damdest places sometimes, lol
Haven't had too many issues but the occasional redo is not uncommon,depends on the customer how it gets handled.

Hey everyone, back with a little more progress. Got mostly all the rear sheet metal welded in and cleaned up.
Got most of the fuel cell mounting figured out,just needs a hold down bracket of some kind. One evening I patched up the bottom of the rad support,beadroller works great!
