Fender Rust Repair

On my 95 f250 there is rust on the bottom corners of both fenders( by the doors). On the driver there's a decent sized hole from the rust and the passenger side it looks to be just starting. I thought of just replacing both fenders, but am wonders if there is an alternative that's hopefully a little cheaper.

Replacing the fender is the best and easiest way to go.

If you try to patch it yourself you might save a little money, but it will not last as long as just putting on a new fender.

Can probably find these cheaper on Amazon or ebay.

Can't speak for the quality, but usually the aftermarket sheet metal replacement parts are thinner and dent more easily than the OEM stuff. Edges tend to be sharp too, so watch your hands.

There are also sheet metal pieces you cut out and weld in new, but that can be a lot more expensive if you don't do your own work.
