Rust holes in the back
Hey I'm a 16 year old from Maryland and I own a 1985 Ford Red Bronco and the rear has two outrageous rust holes on the bottom right and left sides. I'm not really sure on where to start, but I want to get rid of them. If you have any advice to give me on where to start or what I should do to get rid of them, I'd be glad, thanks.

You can find the parts you need from LMC Truck, Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, or other sources. It will all depend on what you want to do with the truck...... If you know in your heart that you're in love and never want to part with it, and money is no object, consider having replacement quarter panels welded in. If you'd rather keep your options open, would rather save some $$$, and just want to repair an eyesore, you do have some other options..... The vendors mentioned above, as well as J.C. Whitney, do sell "patch" panels, which can be welded in to replace the bad spots. They are cheaper than replacing the whole quarter, and though cheaper in quality (probably thinner guaged metal), they may be the answer. I have no idea what your ideas may be for the truck, what your budget may be, or what your capabilities (in terms of bodywork) may be, so there are a lot of different avenues you could take. Start by pricing the parts, and talking to a few body and/or welding shops in your area to get an idea of what you're facing.
