HUGE issue. This panel cannot be bought, has to be custom fabricated, 2 different layers. This was a big holy fuck moment.
(That slight silver where the vent hole goes isnt metal, thats gorilla tape I put there years ago for water leaks, It held wayyy better than I ever thought lol)

Before I show you guys how much sanding had to be done to get this to blend correctly Ill show the aftermath of the first few batches lol
KIMG0216_zpsputmw1iv.jpg

So much blocking, getting close!

While that primer cured I moved on to shaving the holes from my spoiler. I dont like the look plus they rattle lol

KIMG0222_zpsnqmmm4la.jpg

Was really happy how that bottom one ground down.
KIMG0223_zps5ocmtavj.jpg

Little patch work on the passenger wheel well. This side usually rots the worst in my area, somehow this car got it backwards.

This got blended way more eventually, just getting mud on it to work with!
KIMG0229_zps3tqw1rmf.jpg

After another skim coat and a block these were pretty much done!

KIMG0230_zpsgw64cfvz.jpg

The passenger side got it the worse as far as cancer metal goes. Had to go all the way into my doors but was able to just patch the rocker on this side. Very weird the way the rust was, I got very lucky!

KIMG0238_zpsjlowrit3.jpg

KIMG0294_zpslleamkqv.jpg

You can see the blue spot on the fender where it rubbed through. Thats ok because im doing another layer of color before clear anyway.

KIMG0295_zpsn9bx5bvu.jpg

This was friday night, more color and clear finally!
KIMG0296_zpsvkvqihqj.jpg

better without the tire covers!

KIMG0297_zpsqeldxqa6.jpg

And this is how she was Saturday night. Got 3 of the 4 new tires mounted and balanced. 2 lugs on the last wheel fucked me so i had to make a run home for more tools.

Sunday was cleanup day and monday night I drove her home!
