I recently started removing the rusty sections of my wheelhouse.Both sides of my bed were rusted out from salt and snd being trapped between the two panels.I started out by cutting away the outer panel,then cutting the inner panel out.I then took my replacement inner panel and cut it 1/2" larger than the area I removed by laying the rusty piece over the top of it and marking it 1/2" larger.Then I ground the paint off the repair panel and the inside of the existing wheelhouse.After that I laid a bead of 3M 8115 panel bond on each panel,Then I fitted it in place and clamped it down with c clamp vise grips.After letting the adhesive cure overnight I ground off the excess adhesive and sprayed it with a couple of coats of rust resistant paint.Now I am ready weld in the outer panel.Maybe next weekend!If any of you guys have this problem,Maybe this will give you an idea on how to repair it.
