I'm very interested in this process. I've posted a few pictures and picked up little tidbits of info; but I haven't really found someone who really has done this. So here's what I've heard so far; but I have alot of questions.
In the first pic; here's my project. The rust started in the crease of the inner wheelwell where it meets the fender opening. I picked up left and right Goodmark patch panels on EBay. In the second photo; I have clamped the panel to the body for the purpose of marking the outline. The third photo is photoshopped for the purpose of visual effect. It's not the actual panel size I'm using
I'll be replacing the wheel houses with aftermarket Jegs, or Chassisworks tubs; so the old stock ones will be removed.
I'll be using a flange tool for this process so that I can overlap the sheet metal. So now my questions begin:
1.) I'm wondering how far inside the outline do I mark for cutting? (photo 3)
2.) Do you flange the body, and overlap the patch; or flange the patch and slip it behind the body for bonding ? (when we're to that point of prep)
3.) What is the best adhesive to use?
