Estimate on rust repair?
I've got a bit of rust starting on the passenger side of my '93 f-150. Obviously the only good way to fix it is to have it replaced. I'm lucky because the wheel molding is in a two-tone paint scheme, where I'd only have to have the middle repainted.
Can anyone with experience give me an estimate on what it might cost to do this?
The driver's side is clean.

Assuming there is no body damage to fix and it isn't some kind of trick paint job, it shouldn't run you too much.
I suspect your total cost will depend on the area you live in and who does the work. Estimates are usually free so get several of them.

Aekisu, I appreciate your help.
There is no body damage, and I suspect the smallest wheel well patch is all that I would need.
I haven't had a professional body guy look at it yet, but I've been told anywhere from $350-$500 for one side.
Does that sound like a fair assessment?

Sounds like a pretty good estimate to me.
A problem you might find is that a lot of places don't want to work on rust for any number of different reasons. You might have to find a place that deals with restoration work.
