Hello james, Yeah, thats what I was thinking - but I have to reiterate - I dont know squat about rust repair. I figure that it cant be too hard though, and I havent stuffed too many things up yet. The hardest part would probably be making up the panels to have the same profile as whatever you were replacing. I wasnt going to just bog it up on the outside either, I was going to use a second piece of metal, so you should only have to fill arround the edges.
