I am on a laid off budget, haha , so I used napa brush on rust converter, with some rustoleum rust reformer that actually works surprisingly good, I also put some profession grade rust resistant rubberized paint over the reformer and so far after about 3 months in the michigan winter and all this rain here it hasnt rusted through. If you went with the napa converter I'd put two to three heavy coats on if rusted bad ... the bottle says thin coats but thats only if its light surface rust. I tried thin coats and exposed my test metal(a piece of my rusty rear wheel arch) to the elements for a couple days and it started to show through, but the heavy coats did well.

Has anybody put studs in used snow tires, I have the cooper discoverer m+s tires with the stud holes, but im not sure if 80% tread is good enough since ive heard you shouldn't stud used tires.

i was thinking the same thing. sheet metal could get messy unless your really good with the body work.

I was planning on fixing the wheel arches with repair panels and the bed floor with sheet metal then just throw a liner in.
