How should I fix this?

[ItDoRun]

I knew I had some pitting on the passenger side quarter, just not this bad. This is a victim of the vinyl top from years ago. I want to make a patch panel for it, however, several body men that I have talked to said to media blast it, etch primer, and then fill it. It has some holes that I want to at least spot weld if we do decide to fill it instead of patching. What do you guys think?

your doing a roof and rear window filler buy a full 1/4 and cut what you need off it or intall the whole 1/4, would be way better then dealing with that mess 4-5 yrs down the road

+1

there is no way your gonna weld up the actual holes, it would be like hitting a tissue with a pressure washer....and just gonna make a bigger mess. the best thing to do is replace atleast the section that is bad.

WHat most people don't understand is that once rust is in a panel, it'll never leave. +2 for what was said above. If your gonna go the budget road and don't wanna do alot of sheetmetal work. I would at least neutralize the rust with PPG DX590 I belive it is, or POR-15. then do ur filler work. But make sure u treat it from the inside if possible. Good Luck

If anyone has a 67-68 Camaro passenger side quarter that may have been damaged in shipping, let me know. I need one to patch this mess.

Patch that.... dont be a hack and cover than with mud. It will come back to haunt you later. Maybe in a less conspicous area that no one willl ever see but not at that spot.

Just dont do it !!!

did it have a vynil top id try to remake it out of the same gauge sheet metal or do like they said order a whole quarter and cut off what you need sell the rest to someone else.

Led it up if the rest the quarter is in good shape. Fixing that area with a rust neutralizer & led filler is better than replacing a good quarter!
