todays video is the DIY rust repair on my 2006 f150 pickup truck. The drivers side front lower box has rusted out leaving a huge hole to repair. I picked up a patch panel from Rockauto which made this job way easier. The first job is to cut out all the rust and remember the rust extends further than the hole or area itself. I then fitted up my patch panel to weld in place. I used cleco fastner kit to hold the patch panel into place while I used my esab rebel welder to fix the repair

Very good video. Thanks for not adding annoying music!
Good job buddy thanks
Could you have done that panel without any bondo? I only ask because it is such a great looking repair. Bondo will just eventually fall off from what I have learned.
Nice job.
Nice work man. Looks like a quality repair for much less coin than a body shop.
what grinder are you using? nice video.
Why not trim the patch panel first and use it to scribe on the car?
Great video … But how long does it take to get the overspray off everything ?
good job but it seems like a repair that would have been done on a classic car not a daily driver. My only concerns are the backside of the metal is not painted and why did you butt weld in the inner panel. I would have put in an overlaping patch on the inner panel then painted the backside before installing it. Possibly even used panel adhesive and an overlay on the outer panel on a regular car repair like that. would probably have less chances of rusting out again in the same spot.
Beautiful work sir.
