Wheel Well Rust (my pics)

Exp1992 · 01-14-2008, 04:17 PM

Are there any sheet metal places online where I can get pre-shaped metal to replace over the wheel well area once the rusted metal is cut out?

Having to make these myself is going to take loooong time to shape so the curves/bends look right.

Several years ago I found the replacement metal online for the area between wheel well and door opening, did both sides. Sure would like this job to be just as easy. (I know, don't we all?) So far I haven't found any online for the wheel well area.

See passenger side wheel well.....BIG mess! Both layers (inner and outter) are rusted, and some areas of that rust is worse than others.

Driver side wheel well. I find it almost funny how there's no rust....well, yet. I'm sure it will come someday.
