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 well done ! What do you think of the esab welder ?
nice helmet
Just a note, i dont think you should use ad flyers for masking, paint goes right through them. Get some masking paper its cheap and every home store has it
Not bad. Only thing I would add is automotive seam sealer on the inside flange. Otherwise it becomes a pocket to start the whole process over in short order.
Nice job ?
Looks good
Any way to repair rust holes without the use of a welder?
We call your welding process " step welding " it prevents warping.
Great job, and nice how to. Ford owners need this skill more then any other brand.
