ok so now we have a great fit .. time to fix the rust first I took a couple of measurements of the piece I would need to cut out . then got my sheet metal , drew the lines , and cut it out .. jig saw works great for these small pieces .  Then with the mini bender , you can put an edge on it .. a piece of 2X4 it counter edge will work as well   and although no one will ever see it , I used my bead roller to put the factory type "dimples" in the metal   and now , I can take these pieces , and use them as my template for cutting the rust out  and now tacked in place I can now prep for the POR15 treatment  POR15 done .. to cure overnight   also .. got the "glue tabs " done to cure overnight as well   . |

so with the long weekend over , and everything cured , time to make the sides permanent . We use in our shop , and recommend 3M panel bonder #08115 . not cheep , but in my opinion , it is the best + it is the only product that offers a lifetime warrantee  be very liberal with it .. I use a popsicle stick to spread it out , and make sure I cover all bare metal  installed and clamped  |
