Wheel Well rust repairs
Does anyone have a link to a good DIY for wheel well repair on an f250? I found a replacement bed that has some nasty rot right around the wheel wells. all else is good. Just looking for some step by step instructions.

I do on my server, however my ISP imploded yesterday so it will be a day or two before they sort out their issues. I'll post the link when it's back online. It's a pictorial with basic descriptions.
Basically, you cut off the rust, trim a patch panel to fit, stitch weld, grind beads, skim with filler, sand, prime and paint.

It's a hairy process... I couldn't weld good enough to do that, so I'll have to let somebody else do it for me this summer. Broncograveyard has some nice deals on patch panels. They're very reasonable.

My server is back online, however I'm waiting (up to 24 hrs) for the new IP addressing to propogate throughout the internet (typical DNS delays).
So... it won't work just yet, but at least you have the link. Give it a try tomorrow I guess.

I had the link incorrect, my apologies. I need to drink more coffee, or stop typing links off the top of my head.
