the RIGHT way to do is to cut all the rust out and make patch panels out of sheetmetal, then weld the patch in.

packing the whole with fiberglass will lasta couple months

just realize that there is no way to fix rust, just slow it down

I would do the problem with new metal in primer for around 200 bucks depending on whats on the back side

the best way to do it is to put metal back in it, the "right way" is to put new quarters in or atleast that what several of our snotty customers requested,
thats ok, mean people get mean prices lol
